Prime numbers

This file deals with prime numbers: natural numbers p ≥ 2 whose only divisors are p and 1.

Important declarations

• Nat.Prime: the predicate that expresses that a natural number p is prime
• Nat.Primes: the subtype of natural numbers that are prime
• Nat.minFac n: the minimal prime factor of a natural number n ≠ 1
• Nat.prime_iff: Nat.Prime coincides with the general definition of Prime
• Nat.irreducible_iff_nat_prime: a non-unit natural number is only divisible by 1 iff it is prime

def Nat.Prime (p : ℕ) : Prop

Nat.Prime p means that p is a prime number, that is, a natural number at least 2 whose only divisors are p and 1. The theorem Nat.prime_def witnesses this description of a prime number.

instance Nat.decidablePrime (p : ℕ) : Decidable (Prime p)

This instance is set up to work in the kernel (by decide) for small values.

Below (decidablePrime') we will define a faster variant to be used by the compiler (e.g. in #eval or by native_decide).

If you need to prove that a particular number is prime, in any case you should not use by decide, but rather by norm_num, which is much faster.

theorem Nat.minFac_lemma (n k : ℕ) (h : ¬n < k * k) : n.sqrt - k < n.sqrt + 2 - k

@[irreducible]

def Nat.minFacAux (n : ℕ) : ℕ → ℕ

If n < k * k, then minFacAux n k = n, if k | n, then minFacAux n k = k. Otherwise, minFacAux n k = minFacAux n (k+2) using well-founded recursion. If n is odd and 1 < n, then minFacAux n 3 is the smallest prime factor of n.

This definition is by well-founded recursion, so rfl or decide cannot be used. One can use norm_num to prove Nat.prime n for small n.

Returns the smallest prime factor of n ≠ 1.
