Divided powers

Let A be a commutative (semi)ring and I be an ideal of A. A divided power structure on I is the datum of operations a n ↦ dpow a n satisfying relations that model the intuitive formula dpow n a = a ^ n / n ! and collected by the structure DividedPowers. The list of axioms is embedded in the structure: To avoid coercions, we rather consider DividedPowers.dpow : ℕ → A → A, extended by 0.

• DividedPowers.dpow_null asserts that dpow n x = 0 for x ∉ I
• DividedPowers.dpow_mem : dpow n x ∈ I for n ≠ 0 For x y : A and m n : ℕ such that x ∈ I and y ∈ I, one has
• DividedPowers.dpow_zero : dpow 0 x = 1
• DividedPowers.dpow_one : dpow 1 x = 1
• DividedPowers.dpow_add : dpow n (x + y) = (antidiagonal n).sum fun k ↦ dpow k.1 x * dpow k.2 y, this is the binomial theorem without binomial coefficients.
• DividedPowers.dpow_mul: dpow n (a * x) = a ^ n * dpow n x
• DividedPowers.mul_dpow : dpow m x * dpow n x = choose (m + n) m * dpow (m + n) x
• DividedPowers.dpow_comp : dpow m (dpow n x) = uniformBell m n * dpow (m * n) x
• DividedPowers.dividedPowersBot : the trivial divided powers structure on the zero ideal
• DividedPowers.prod_dpow: a product of divided powers is a multinomial coefficient times a divided power
• DividedPowers.dpow_sum: the multinomial theorem for divided powers, without multinomial coefficients.
• DividedPowers.ofRingEquiv: transfer divided powers along RingEquiv
• DividedPowers.equiv: the equivalence DividedPowers I ≃ DividedPowers J, for e : R ≃+* S, and I : Ideal R, J : Ideal S such that I.map e = J
• DividedPowers.exp: the power series Σ (dpow n a) X ^n
• DividedPowers.exp_add: its multiplicativity

Discussion

• In practice, one often has a single such structure to handle on a given ideal, but several ideals of the same ring might be considered. Without any explicit mention of the ideal, it is not clear whether such structures should be provided as instances.

• We do not provide any notation such as a ^[n] for dpow a n.
