Action of regular elements on a module #

We introduce M-regular elements, in the context of an R-module M. The corresponding predicate is called is_smul_regular.

There are very limited typeclass assumptions on R and M, but the "mathematical" case of interest is a commutative ring R acting an a module M. Since the properties are "multiplicative", there is no actual requirement of having an addition, but there is a zero in both R and M. Smultiplications involving 0 are, of course, all trivial.

The defining property is that an element a ∈ R is M-regular if the smultiplication map M → M, defined by m ↦ a • m, is injective.

This property is the direct generalization to modules of the property is_left_regular defined in algebra/regular. Lemma is_smul_regular.is_left_regular_iff shows that indeed the two notions coincide.

Prop
