prime_field_inverse_exists_unique

Alpha v34 independently verified · alpha_closed; checked-use authorized; not Stable

Proved unique inverse existence has exactly the nonzero carrier domain, not an odd-prime or supplied-inverse premise.

Current library: Alpha v34, 4,223 checked-use theorems; Stable remains 432. Historical first admissions, original proof editions, and non-admitted aliases are preserved.
