Fact component_mx_key : unit. Proof. by []. Qed.
Definition component_mx_expr (U : 'M[F]_n) :=
(\sum_i cyclic_mx (row i (row_hom_mx (nz_row U))))%MS.
Definition component_mx := locked_with component_mx_key component_mx_expr.
Canonical component_mx_unfoldable := [unlockable fun component_mx].
Variable U : 'M[F]_n.
Hypothesis simU : mxsimple U.
Let u := nz_row U.
Let iso_u := row_hom_mx u.
Let nz_u : u != 0 := nz_row_mxsimple simU.
Let Uu : (u <= U)%MS := nz_row_sub U.
Let defU : (U :=: cyclic_mx u)%MS := mxsimple_cyclic simU nz_u Uu.
Local Notation compU := (component_mx U).
End Components.
