View on Github →refactor(Algebra): weaken NormalizationMonoid (#34179) This PR replaces the two fields
normUnit_mul : ∀ {a b}, a ≠ 0 → b ≠ 0 → normUnit (a * b) = normUnit a * normUnit b
normUnit_coe_units : ∀ u : αˣ, normUnit u = u⁻¹
in the definition of NormalizationMonoid by
normUnit_one : normUnit 1 = 1
normUnit_mul_units {a : α} (u : αˣ) : a ≠ 0 → normUnit (a * u) = u⁻¹ * normUnit a
and rename the old version to StrongNormalizationMonoid. The vast majority of API continue to hold under this weakened notion of NormalizationMonoid; only a handful requires the original notion. Every cancellative monoid with zero admits a weakened NormalizationMonoid structure, and every GCDMonoid admits a weakened NormalizedGCDMonoid structure. This allows us to generalize Polynomial.normalizedGcdMonoid to all GCDMonoids.
