Regular local rings #

For a Noetherian local ring R, we define IsRegularLocalRing as (maximalIdeal R).spanFinrank = ringKrullDim R. This definition is equivalent to the dimension of the cotangent space over the residue field being equal to ringKrullDim R, (see IsRegularLocalRing.iff_finrank_cotangentSpace).

Main Definition and Results #

class IsRegularLocalRing (R : Type u_1) [CommRing R] extends IsLocalRing R, IsNoetherian R R :

A Noetherian local ring is said to be regular if its maximal ideal can be generated by dim R elements.
