< function algebra

Given a

commutative ring RR and any type TT, the type of functions TRT \to R has the structure of an RR-algebra, with canonical ring homomorphism c:R(TR)c:R \to (T \to R) being the constant functions in TRT \to R. One could define the RR-algebra operations pointwise on RR:

r:R0(r)0r:R \vdash 0(r) \coloneqq 0
r:R(f+g)(r)f(r)+g(r)r:R \vdash (f + g)(r) \coloneqq f(r) + g(r)
r:R(f)(r)f(r)r:R \vdash (-f)(r) \coloneqq -f(r)
r:R1(r)1r:R \vdash 1(r) \coloneqq 1
r:R,s:R(sf)(r)c(s)f(r)r:R, s:R \vdash (s f)(r) \coloneqq c(s) \cdot f(r)
r:R(fg)(r)f(r)g(r)r:R \vdash (f \cdot g)(r) \coloneqq f(r) \cdot g(r)

There is also the identity function on RR.
