Topologically nilpotent elements

Let M be a monoid with zero M, endowed with a topology.

• IsTopologicallyNilpotent a says that a : M is topologically nilpotent, ie, its powers converge to zero.

• IsTopologicallyNilpotent.map: The image of a topologically nilpotent element under a continuous morphism of monoids with zero endowed with a topology is topologically nilpotent.

• IsTopologicallyNilpotent.zero: 0 is topologically nilpotent.

Let R be a commutative ring with a linear topology.

• IsTopologicallyNilpotent.mul_left: if a : R is topologically nilpotent, then a*b is topologically nilpotent.

• IsTopologicallyNilpotent.mul_right: if a : R is topologically nilpotent, then a * b is topologically nilpotent.

• IsTopologicallyNilpotent.add: if a b : R are topologically nilpotent, then a + b is topologically nilpotent.

These lemmas are actually deduced from their analogues for commuting elements of rings.

def IsTopologicallyNilpotent {R : Type u_1} [MonoidWithZero R] [TopologicalSpace R] (a : R) : Prop
