The Special Linear group $SL(n, R)$ #

This file defines the elements of the Special Linear group special_linear_group n R, consisting of all square R-matrices with determinant 1 on the fintype n by n. In addition, we define the group structure on special_linear_group n R and the embedding into the general linear group general_linear_group R (n → R).

Main definitions #

Notation #

For m : ℕ, we introduce the notation SL(m,R) for the special linear group on the fintype n = fin m, in the locale matrix_groups.

Implementation notes #

The inverse operation in the special_linear_group is defined to be the adjugate matrix, so that special_linear_group n R has a group structure for all comm_ring R.

We define the elements of special_linear_group to be matrices, since we need to compute their determinant. This is in contrast with general_linear_group R M, which consists of invertible R-linear maps on M.

We provide matrix.special_linear_group.has_coe_to_fun for convenience, but do not state any lemmas about it, and use matrix.special_linear_group.coe_fn_eq_coe to eliminate it in favor of a regular coercion.
