Torsors of additive group actions #
This file defines torsors of additive group actions.
Notation #
The group elements are referred to as acting on points. This file
defines the notation +ᵥ for adding a group element to a point and
-ᵥ for subtracting two points to produce a group element.
Implementation notes #
Affine spaces are the motivating example of torsors of additive group actions. It may be appropriate
to refactor in terms of the general definition of group actions, via to_additive, when there is a
use for multiplicative torsors (currently mathlib only develops the theory of group actions for
multiplicative group actions).
Notation #
v +ᵥ pis a notation forVAdd.vadd, the left action of an additive monoid;p₁ -ᵥ p₂is a notation forVSub.vsub, difference between two points in an additive torsor as an element of the corresponding additive group;
References #
An AddTorsor G P gives a structure to the nonempty type P,
acted on by an AddGroup G with a transitive and free action given
by the +ᵥ operation and a corresponding subtraction given by the
-ᵥ operation. In the case of a vector space, it is an affine
space.

- vsub : P → P → G

Torsor subtraction and addition with the same element cancels out.

An AddGroup G is a torsor for itself.

Adding a group element to the point p is an injective
function.
Adding a group element to a point, then subtracting another point, produces the same result as subtracting the points then adding the group element.
