Dual numbers #
The dual numbers over R
are of the form a + bε
, where a
and b
are typically elements of a
commutative ring R
, and ε
is a symbol satisfying ε^2 = 0
that commutes with every other
element. They are a special case of TrivSqZeroExt R M
with M = R
.
Notation #
In the DualNumber
locale:
R[ε]

ε

For two R
-algebra morphisms out of A[ε]
to agree, it suffices for them to agree on the
elements of A
and the A
-multiples of ε

A universal property of the dual numbers, providing a unique A[ε] →ₐ[R] B
for every map
f : A →ₐ[R] B
and a choice of element e : B
which squares to 0
and commutes with the range of
f
.
This isomorphism is named to match the similar Complex.lift
.
Note that when f : R →ₐ[R] B := Algebra.ofId R B
, the commutativity assumption is automatic, and
we are free to choose any element e : B
.

Scaling on the left is sent by DualNumber.lift
to multiplication on the left
Scaling on the right is sent by DualNumber.lift
to multiplication on the right
When applied to ε
, DualNumber.lift
produces the element of B
that squares to 0.
Lifting DualNumber.eps
itself gives the identity.
