Free modules over PID

A free R-module M is a module with a basis over R, equivalently it is an R-module linearly equivalent to ι →₀ R for some ι.

This file proves a submodule of a free R-module of finite rank is also a free R-module of finite rank, if R is a principal ideal domain (PID), i.e. we have instances [IsDomain R] [IsPrincipalIdealRing R]. We express "free R-module of finite rank" as a module M which has a basis b : ι → R, where ι is a Fintype. We call the cardinality of ι the rank of M in this file; it would be equal to finrank R M if R is a field and M is a vector space.

Main results

In this section, M is a free and finitely generated R-module, and N is a submodule of M.

• Submodule.inductionOnRank: if P holds for ⊥ : Submodule R M and if P N follows from P N' for all N' that are of lower rank, then P holds on all submodules

• Submodule.exists_basis_of_pid: if R is a PID, then N : Submodule R M is free and finitely generated. This is the first part of the structure theorem for modules.

• Submodule.smithNormalForm: if R is a PID, then M has a basis bM and N has a basis bN such that bN i = a i • bM i. Equivalently, a linear map f : M →ₗ M with range f = N can be written as a matrix in Smith normal form, a diagonal matrix with the coefficients a i along the diagonal.

The induction hypothesis of Submodule.basisOfPid and Submodule.smithNormalForm.

Basically, it says: let N ≤ M be a pair of submodules, then we can find a pair of submodules N' ≤ M' of strictly smaller rank, whose basis we can extend to get a basis of N and M. Moreover, if the basis for M' is up to scalars a basis for N', then the basis we find for M is up to scalars a basis for N.

For basis_of_pid we only need the first half and can fix M = ⊤, for smith_normal_form we need the full statement, but must also feed in a basis for M using basis_of_pid to keep the induction going.
