Proving a Dedekind domain is a PID

This file contains some results that we can use to show all ideals in a Dedekind domain are principal.

Main results

• Ideal.IsPrincipal.of_finite_maximals_of_isUnit: an invertible ideal in a commutative ring with finitely many maximal ideals, is a principal ideal.
• IsPrincipalIdealRing.of_finite_primes: if a Dedekind domain has finitely many prime ideals, it is a principal ideal domain.

Let P be a prime ideal, x ∈ P \ P² and x ∉ Q for all prime ideals Q ≠ P. Then P is generated by x.

If p is a prime in the Dedekind domain R, S an extension of R and Sₚ the localization of S at p, then all primes in Sₚ are factors of the image of p in Sₚ.
