Trace for (finite) ring extensions. #

Suppose we have an R-algebra S with a finite basis. For each s : S, the trace of the linear map given by multiplying by s gives information about the roots of the minimal polynomial of s over R.

Main definitions #

Main results #

Implementation notes #

Typically, the trace is defined specifically for finite field extensions. The definition is as general as possible and the assumption that the extension is finite is added to the lemmas as needed.

We only define the trace for left multiplication (Algebra.leftMulMatrix, i.e. LinearMap.mulLeft). For now, the definitions assume S is commutative, so the choice doesn't matter anyway.

The trace of an element s of an R-algebra is the trace of (s * ·), as an R-linear map.
