Symmetrized algebra #
A commutative multiplication on a real or complex space can be constructed from any multiplication by "symmetrization" i.e. $$ a \circ b = \frac{1}{2}(ab + ba) $$
We provide the symmetrized version of a type α as SymAlg α, with notation αˢʸᵐ.
Implementation notes #
The approach taken here is inspired by Mathlib/Algebra/Opposites.lean. We use Oxford Spellings
(IETF en-GB-oxendict).
Note #
See SymmetricAlgebra instead if you are looking for the symmetric algebra of a module.
