Prime ideals

This file contains the definition of Ideal.IsPrime for prime ideals.

TODO

Support right ideals, and two-sided ideals over non-commutative rings.

class Ideal.IsPrime {α : Type u} [Semiring α] (I : Ideal α) : Prop

An ideal P of a ring R is prime if P ≠ R and xy ∈ P → x ∈ P ∨ y ∈ P

• ne_top' : I ≠ ⊤

  The prime ideal is not the entire ring.

• mem_or_mem' {x y : α} : x * y ∈ I → x ∈ I ∨ y ∈ I

  If a product lies in the prime ideal, then at least one element lies in the prime ideal.
