Comparing the integral and real zero-charge quotients #
Definition 21.9 of arXiv:1902.08184v4 forms a free abelian quotient by the saturated subgroup generated by zero-charge classes. Definition 21.15(4) puts the uniform quadratic form on a real quotient. This file supplies the previously missing comparison map between those two constructions.
The comparison is canonical once the integral classes are realized in the real vector space and the chosen generators land in the killed subspace. It is not automatically an equivalence: the equivalence constructor below requires a proof that the scalar-extended comparison is bijective.
The map from the saturated integral quotient to the real quotient.
The hypothesis says exactly that every chosen zero-charge generator is killed by the real quotient. Saturation then makes the map descend because a real vector space is torsion-free as an additive group.

Instances For
The integral comparison sends the class of x to its realized class in
the real quotient.
Scalar extension of the saturated integral quotient to ℝ.
The scalar factor is placed first so Mathlib's canonical left-module
structure makes this tensor product an ℝ-module without any auxiliary
choice.

Formula for the scalar-extension comparison on pure tensors.
On a scalar-extended original class, the comparison is the expected real multiple of its image in the quotient.
A real-linear equivalence exists with the canonical comparison as its underlying map exactly when that comparison is bijective. This records the missing comparison hypothesis explicitly instead of treating it as automatic.
Upgrade the canonical comparison to a linear equivalence when its bijectivity has been proved in the geometric or numerical model at hand.
