Dimension of vector spaces

In this file we provide results about Module.rank and Module.finrank of vector spaces over division rings.

Main statements

For vector spaces (i.e. modules over a field), we have

• rank_quotient_add_rank_of_divisionRing: if V₁ is a submodule of V, then Module.rank (V/V₁) + Module.rank V₁ = Module.rank V.
• rank_range_add_rank_ker: the rank-nullity theorem.
• rank_dual_eq_card_dual_of_aleph0_le_rank: The Erdős-Kaplansky Theorem which says that the dimension of an infinite-dimensional dual space over a division ring has dimension equal to its cardinality.

theorem Basis.finite_ofVectorSpaceIndex_of_rank_lt_aleph0 {K : Type u} {V : Type v} [DivisionRing K] [AddCommGroup V] [Module K V] (h : Module.rank K V < Cardinal.aleph0) : (Basis.ofVectorSpaceIndex K V).Finite

If a vector space has a finite dimension, the index set of Basis.ofVectorSpace is finite.

theorem rank_quotient_add_rank_of_divisionRing {K : Type u} {V : Type v} [DivisionRing K] [AddCommGroup V] [Module K V] (p : Submodule K V) : Module.rank K (V ⧸ p) + Module.rank K ↥p = Module.rank K V

This is mostly an auxiliary lemma for Submodule.rank_sup_add_rank_inf_eq.
