Witt vectors #
In this file we define the type of p
-typical Witt vectors and ring operations on it.
The ring axioms are verified in Mathlib/RingTheory/WittVector/Basic.lean
.
For a fixed commutative ring R
and prime p
,
a Witt vector x : π R
is an infinite sequence β β R
of elements of R
.
However, the ring operations +
and *
are not defined in the obvious component-wise way.
Instead, these operations are defined via certain polynomials
using the machinery in Mathlib/RingTheory/WittVector/StructurePolynomial.lean
.
The n
th value of the sum of two Witt vectors can depend on the 0
-th through n
th values
of the summands. This effectively simulates a βcarryingβ operation.

WittVector p R
is the ring of p
-typical Witt vectors over the commutative ring R
,
where p
is a prime number.
If p
is invertible in R
, this ring is isomorphic to β β R
(the product of β
copies of R
).
If R
is a ring of characteristic p
, then WittVector p R
is a ring of characteristic 0
.
The canonical example is WittVector p (ZMod p)
,
which is isomorphic to the p
-adic integers β€_[p]
.

An auxiliary definition used in WittVector.eval
.
Evaluates a polynomial whose variables come from the disjoint union of k
copies of β
,
with a curried evaluation x
.
This can be defined more generally but we use only a specific instance here.
Equations
- WittVector.peval Ο x = (MvPolynomial.aeval (Function.uncurry x)) Ο
Instances For
Let Ο
be a family of polynomials, indexed by natural numbers, whose variables come from the
disjoint union of k
copies of β
, and let xα΅’
be a Witt vector for 0 β€ i < k
.
eval Ο x
evaluates Ο
mapping the variable X_(i, n)
to the n
th coefficient of xα΅’
.
Instantiating Ο
with certain polynomials defined in
Mathlib/RingTheory/WittVector/StructurePolynomial.lean
establishes the
ring operations on π R
. For example, WittVector.wittAdd
is such a Ο
with k = 2
;
evaluating this at (xβ, xβ)
gives us the sum of two Witt vectors xβ + xβ
.
