Use `finsupp.total_id_surjective` to prove that any module is the quotient of a free module. ## Main definition * `module.free R M` : the class of free `R`-modules. -/ universes u v w z variables (R : Type u) (M : Type v) (N : Type z) open_locale tensor_product direct_sum big_operators section basic variables [semiring R] [add_comm_monoid M] [module R M] /-- `module.free R M` is the statement that the `R`-module `M` is free.-/ class module.free : Prop := (exists_basis [] : nonempty (Σ (I : Type v), basis I R M)) /- If `M` fits in universe `w`, then freeness is equivalent to existence of a basis in that universe. Note that if `M` does not fit in `w`, the reverse direction of this implication is still true as `module.free.of_basis`. -/ lemma module.free_def [small.{w} M] : module.free R M ↔ ∃ (I : Type w), nonempty (basis I R M) := ⟨ λ h, ⟨shrink (set.range h.exists_basis.some.2), ⟨(basis.reindex_range h.exists_basis.some.2).reindex (equiv_shrink _)⟩⟩, λ h, ⟨(nonempty_sigma.2 h).map $ λ ⟨i, b⟩, ⟨set.range b, b.reindex_range⟩⟩⟩ lemma module.free_iff_set : module.free R M ↔ ∃ (S : set M), nonempty (basis S R M) := ⟨λ h, ⟨set.range h.exists_basis.some.2, ⟨basis.reindex_range h.exists_basis.some.2⟩⟩, λ ⟨S, hS⟩, ⟨nonempty_sigma.2 ⟨S, hS⟩⟩⟩ variables {R M} lemma module.free.of_basis {ι : Type w} (b : basis ι R M) : module.free R M := (module.free_def R M).2 ⟨set.range b, ⟨b.reindex_range⟩⟩ end basic namespace module.free section semiring variables (R M) [semiring R] [add_comm_monoid M] [module R M] [module.free R M] variables [add_comm_monoid N] [module R N] /-- If `module.free R M` then `choose_basis_index R M` is the `ι` which indexes the basis `ι → M`. -/ @[nolint has_inhabited_instance] def choose_basis_index := (exists_basis R M).some.1 /-- If `module.free R M` then `choose_basis : ι → M` is the basis.

This definition is parameterized over an extra `semiring S`, such that `smul_comm_class R S M'` holds. If `R` is commutative, you can set `S := R`; if `R` is not commutative, you can recover an `add_equiv` by setting `S := ℕ`.
