Characteristic zero or larger than a bound #
CharZeroOrGT R n says that the positive natural numbers up to n are nonzero in R. For a
field this means that the characteristic is zero or larger than n. Results that hold both in
characteristic zero and in characteristic p > n are stated once under this hypothesis.
Main results #
CCDN.CharZeroOrGT.of_charZero,CCDN.CharZeroOrGT.of_charP: the two sources of the hypothesis.CCDN.CharZeroOrGT.map: the hypothesis passes to any extension of a field.CCDN.CharZeroOrGT.iff_ringChar: the characterization byringChar.
The positive natural numbers up to n are nonzero in R; for a field, the characteristic
of R is zero or larger than n.
Instances For
Characteristic zero exceeds every bound.
Characteristic p exceeds every bound below p.
The hypothesis weakens to any smaller bound.
A positive natural number up to the bound is nonzero.
The hypothesis passes along a ring homomorphism out of a division ring, such as the algebra map of a field extension.
CharZeroOrGT R n says exactly that the characteristic of R is zero or exceeds n.
