This is a sorry-free file covering the material on Wednesday afternoon
at LFTCM2020. It's how to build some algebraic structures in Lean
-/
import data.rat.defs -- we'll need the rationals at the end of this file
/-
As a mathematician I essentially always start my Lean files with the following line:
-/
import tactic
/- That gives me access to all Lean's tactics
(see https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib_docs/tactics.html)
-/
/-
## The point of this file
The idea of this file is to show how to build in Lean what the computer scientists call
"an algebraic heirarchy", and what mathematicians call "groups, rings, fields, modules etc".
Firstly, we will define groups, and develop a basic interface for groups.
Then we will define rings, fields, modules, vector spaces, and just demonstrate
that they are usable, rather than making a complete interface for all of them.
Let's start with the theory of groups. Unfortunately Lean has groups already,
so we will have to do everything in a namespace
-/
namespace lftcm
/-
... which means that now when we define `group`, it will actually be called `lftcm.group`.
## Notation typeclasses
To make a term of type `has_mul G`, you need to give a map G^2 → G (or
more precisely, a map `has_mul.mul : G → G → G`. Lean's notation `g * h`
is notation for `has_mul.mul g h`. Furthermore, `has_mul` is a class.
In short, this means that if you write `[has_mul G]` then `G` will
magically have a multiplication called `*` (satisfying no axioms).
Similarly `[has_one G]` gives you `has_one.one : G` with notation `1 : G`,
and `[has_inv G]` gives you `has_inv.inv : G → G` with notation `g⁻¹ : G`
## Definition of a group
If `G` is a type, equipped with `* : G^2 → G`, `1 : G` and `⁻¹ : G → G`
then it's a group if it satisfies the group axioms.
-/
-- `group G` is the type of group structures on a type `G`.
-- first we ask for the structure
class group (G : Type) extends has_mul G, has_one G, has_inv G :=
-- and then we ask for the axioms
(mul_assoc : ∀ (a b c : G), a * b * c = a * (b * c))
(one_mul : ∀ (a : G), 1 * a = a)
(mul_left_inv : ∀ (a : G), a⁻¹ * a = 1)
/-
Advantages of this approach: axioms look lovely.
Disadvantage: what if I want the group law to be `+`?? I have embedded `has_mul`
in the definition.
Lean's solution: develop a `to_additive` metaprogram which translates all theorems about
`group`s (with group law `*`) to theorems about `add_group`s (with group law `+`). We will
not go into details here.
-/
namespace group
-- let G be a group
variables {G : Type} [group G]
/-
Lemmas about groups are proved in this namespace. We already have some!
All the group axioms are theorems in this namespace. Indeed we have just defined
`group.mul_assoc : ∀ (a b c : G), a * b * c = a * (b * c)`
`group.one_mul : ∀ (a : G), 1 * a = a`
`group.mul_left_inv : ∀ (a : G), a⁻¹ * a = 1`
Because we are in the `group` namespace, we don't need to write `group.`
everywhere.
Let's put some more theorems into the `group` namespace.
We definitely need `mul_one` and `mul_right_inv`, and it's a fun exercise to
get them. Here is a route:
`mul_left_cancel : ∀ (a b c : G), a * b = a * c → b = c`
`mul_eq_of_eq_inv_mul {a x y : G} : x = a⁻¹ * y → a * x = y`
`mul_one (a : G) : a * 1 = a`
`mul_right_inv (a : G) : a * a⁻¹ = 1`
-/

-- more mathlib-ish proof:

begin
rw [←one_mul b, ←mul_left_inv a, mul_assoc, Habac, ←mul_assoc, mul_left_inv, one_mul],
end
lemma mul_eq_of_eq_inv_mul {a x y : G} (h : x = a⁻¹ * y) : a * x = y :=
begin
apply mul_left_cancel a⁻¹,
-- ⊢ a⁻¹ * (a * x) = a⁻¹ * y
-- sorry
rw ←mul_assoc,
-- ⊢ a⁻¹ * a * x = a⁻¹ * y (remember this means (a⁻¹ * a) * x = ...)
rw mul_left_inv,
-- ⊢ 1 * x = a⁻¹ * y
rw one_mul,
-- ⊢ x = a⁻¹ * y
exact h
-- sorry
end
-- The same proof
lemma mul_eq_of_eq_inv_mul' {a x y : G} (h : x = a⁻¹ * y) : a * x = y :=
mul_left_cancel a⁻¹ _ _ $ by rwa [←mul_assoc, mul_left_inv, one_mul]
/-
So now we can finally prove `mul_one` and `mul_right_inv`.
But before we start, let's learn a little bit about the simplifier.
## The `simp` tactic -- Lean's simplifier
We have the theorems (axioms) `one_mul g : 1 * g = g` and
`mul_left_inv g : g⁻¹ * g = 1`. Both of these theorems are of
the form `A = B`, with `A` more complicated than `B`. This means
that they are *perfect* theorems for the simplifier. Let's teach
those theorems to the simplifier, by adding the `@[simp]` attribute to them.
An "attribute" is just a tag which we attach to a theorem (or definition).
-/
attribute [simp] one_mul mul_left_inv
/-
Now let's prove `mul_one` using the simplifier. This also a perfect
`simp` lemma, so let's also add the `simp` tag to it.
-/
@[simp] theorem mul_one (a : G) : a * 1 = a :=
begin
apply mul_eq_of_eq_inv_mul,
-- ⊢ 1 = a⁻¹ * a
simp,
end
/-
The simplifier solved `1 = a⁻¹ * a` because it knew `mul_left_inv`.
Feel free to comment out the `attribute [simp] one_mul mul_left_inv` line
above, and observe that the proof breaks.
-/
-- term mode proof
theorem mul_one' (a : G) : a * 1 = a :=
mul_eq_of_eq_inv_mul $ by simp
-- see if you can get the simplifier to do this one too
@[simp] theorem mul_right_inv (a : G) : a * a⁻¹ = 1 :=
begin
-- sorry
apply mul_eq_of_eq_inv_mul,
-- ⊢ a⁻¹ = a⁻¹ * 1
simp
-- sorry
end
-- Now here's a question. Can we train the simplifier to solve the following problem:
--example (a b c d : G) :
-- ((a * b)⁻¹ * a * 1⁻¹⁻¹⁻¹ * b⁻¹ * b * b * 1 * 1⁻¹)⁻¹ = (c⁻¹⁻¹ * d * d⁻¹ * 1⁻¹⁻¹ * c⁻¹⁻¹⁻¹)⁻¹⁻¹ :=
--by simp
-- Remove the --'s and see that it fails. Let's see if we can get it to work.
-- We start with two very natural `simp` lemmas.
@[simp] lemma one_inv : (1 : G)⁻¹ = 1 :=
begin
-- sorry
apply mul_left_cancel (1 : G),
simp,
-- sorry
end
@[simp] lemma inv_inv (a : G) : a⁻¹⁻¹ = a :=
begin
-- sorry
apply mul_left_cancel a⁻¹,
simp,
-- sorry
end
-- Here is a riskier looking `[simp]` lemma.
attribute [simp] mul_assoc -- recall this says (a * b) * c = a * (b * c)
-- The simplifier will now push all brackets to the right, which means
-- that it's worth proving the following two lemmas and tagging
-- them `[simp]`, so that we can still cancel a with a⁻¹ in these situations.
@[simp] lemma inv_mul_cancel_left (a b : G) : a⁻¹ * (a * b) = b :=
begin
-- sorry
rw ←mul_assoc,
simp,
-- sorry
end
@[simp] lemma mul_inv_cancel_left (a b : G) : a * (a⁻¹ * b) = b :=
begin
-- sorry
rw ←mul_assoc,
simp
-- sorry
end
-- Finally, let's make a `simp` lemma which enables us to
-- reduce all inverses to inverses of variables
@[simp] lemma mul_inv_rev (a b : G) : (a * b)⁻¹ = b⁻¹ * a⁻¹ :=
begin
-- sorry
apply mul_left_cancel (a * b),
rw mul_right_inv,
simp,
-- sorry
end
/-
If you solved them all -- congratulations!
You have just turned Lean's simplifier into a normalising confluent
rewriting system for groups, following Knuth-Bendix.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confluence_(abstract_rewriting)#Motivating_examples
In other words, the simplifier will now put any element of a free group
into a canonical normal form, and can hence solve the word problem
for free groups.

((a * b)⁻¹ * a * 1⁻¹⁻¹⁻¹ * b⁻¹ * b * b * 1 * 1⁻¹)⁻¹ = (c⁻¹⁻¹ * d * d⁻¹ * 1⁻¹⁻¹ * c⁻¹⁻¹⁻¹)⁻¹⁻¹ :=

Exercise for the reader: define manifolds, schemes, perfectoid spaces in Lean.
All have been done! As you can see, it is clearly *feasible*, although it does
sometimes take time to get it right. It is all very much work in progress.
The extraordinary thing is that although these computer theorem
provers have been around for about 50 years, there has never been a serious
effort to make the standard definitions used all over modern mathematics in
one of them, and this is why these systems are rarely used in mathematics departments.
Changing this is one of the goals of the Leanprover community.
-/
/-
Let's check that we can make the rational numbers into a field. Of course
they are already a field in Lean, but remember that when we say `field`
below, we mean our just-defined structure `lftcm.field`.
-/
-- the rationals are a field (easy because all the work is done in the import)
instance : field ℚ :=
{ mul := (*),
one := 1,
mul_assoc := rat.mul_assoc,
one_mul := rat.one_mul,
mul_one := rat.mul_one,
add := (+),
zero := 0,
neg := has_neg.neg, -- no () trickery for unary operators
add_assoc := rat.add_assoc,
zero_add := rat.zero_add,
add_left_neg := rat.add_left_neg,
add_comm := rat.add_comm,
mul_add := rat.mul_add,
add_mul := rat.add_mul,
mul_comm := rat.mul_comm,
inv := has_inv.inv, -- see neg
zero_ne_one := rat.zero_ne_one,
mul_inv_cancel := rat.mul_inv_cancel,
inv_zero := inv_zero -- I don't know why rat.inv_zero was never explicitly defined
}
/-
Below is evidence that we can prove basic theorems about these structures.
Note however that it is a *complete pain* because we are *re-implementing*
everything; `add_comm` defaults to Lean's version for Lean's `add_comm_group`s, so we
have to explicitly write `add_comm_group.add_comm` to use our own version.
The mathlib versions of these proofs are less ugly.

Finished the natural number game? Have Lean installed? Want more games/exercises?
Take a look at the following projects, many of which are ongoing but
the first three of which are pretty much ready:
*) The complex number game (complete, needs to be played within VS Code)
https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/complex-number-game
To install, type
`leanproject get ImperialCollegeLondon/complex-number-game`
and then just open the levels in `src/complex`.
*) Undergraduate level mathematics Lean puzzles (plenty of stuff here,
and more appearing over the summer):
https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/Example-Lean-Projects
`leanproject get ImperialCollegeLondon/Example-Lean-Projects`
*) The max mini-game (a simple browser game like the natural number game)
http://wwwf.imperial.ac.uk/~buzzard/xena/max_minigame/
(this is part of what will become the real number game, a game to teach
series, sequences and limits etc like the natural number game):
`leanproject get ImperialCollegeLondon/real-number-game`
*) Some commutative algebra experiments (ongoing work to prove the Nullstellensatz,
going slowly because I'm busy):
https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/M4P33/blob/1a179372db71ad6802d11eacbc1f02f327d55f8f/src/for_mathlib/commutative_algebra/Zariski_lemma.lean#L80-L81
`leanproject get ImperialCollegeLondon/M4P33`
*) The group theory game (work in progress, expect more progress over the summer,
as a couple of undergraduates are working on it)
https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/group-theory-game
`leanproject get ImperialCollegeLondon/group-theory-game`
*) Galois theory experiments
https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/P11-Galois-Theory
`leanproject get ImperialCollegeLondon/P11-Galois-Theory`
*) Beginnings of the theory of condensed sets (currently on hold because
we need a good interface for abelian categories in mathlib)
https://github.com/ImperialCollegeLondon/condensed-sets
`leanproject get ImperialCollegeLondon/condensed-sets`
## The Xena Project
Why do these projects exist? I (Kevin Buzzard) am interested in teaching
undergraduates how to use Lean. I have been running a club at Imperial College London
called the Xena Project for the last three years, I am proud that many Imperial
mathematics undegraduates have contributed to Lean's maths library, and three of them
(Chris Hughes, Kenny Lau, Amelia Livingston) have each contributed over 5,000 lines of
code. It is non-trivial to get your work into such a polished state that it
is acceptable to the mathlib maintainers. It is also very good practice.
I am running Lean summer projects this summer, on a Discord server. If you
know of any undergraduates who you think might be interested in Lean, please
direct them to the Xena Project Discord!
https://discord.gg/BgyVYgJ
Undergraduates use Discord for lots of things, and seem to be more likely
to use a Discord server than the Zulip chat. The Discord server is chaotic and
full of off-topic material -- quite unlike the Lean Zulip server, which is
professional and focussed. If you have a serious question about Lean,
ask it on the Zulip chat! But if you know an undergraduate who is interested
in Lean, they might be interested in the Discord server. We have meetings
every Thursday evening (UK time), with live Lean coding and streaming, speedruns,
there is music, people posting pictures of cats, Haikus, and so on. To a large
extent it is run by undergraduates and PhD students. Over the summer (July
and August 2020) there are also live Twitch talks at https://www.twitch.tv/kbuzzard ,
on Tuesdays 10am and Thursdays 4pm UK time (UTC+1), aimed at mathematics
undergraduates. It is an informal place for undergraduates to hang out and
meet other undergraduates who are interested in Lean.
I believe that it is crucial to make undergraduates aware of computer proof
verification systems, because one day (possibly a long time in the future,
but one day) these things will cause a paradigm shift in the way mathematics
is done, and the sooner young mathematicians learn about them, the sooner it will happen.
