Units of a Monoid

An element of a monoid is a unit if it has a two-sided inverse, and the units form the set M^×.

Statement

In the setting of Routine Facts, Continued: Typed Arithmetic, Maps and Predicativity, let (M,⋅)(M,\cdot) be a monoid with identity ee, with products written uvuv as in Semigroups (i).

Units. An element u∈Mu\in M is a unit if there is v∈Mv\in M with

uv=vu=e;uv=vu=e;

each such vv is an inverse of uu.

The set of units. The set of units of MM is

M×={u∈M:u is a unit}M^{\times}=\{u\in M: u\text{ is a unit}\}

(a set by Subclasses of Sets Are Sets, the Union and Power Set of a Set Exist Uniquely, Binary Unions of Sets Are Sets, and the Universal Class Is Proper (i)).
