Idea

The type of rationals ℚ embeds into the type of Dedekind reals ℝ. We call numbers in the image of this embedding rational real numbers.

Definitions

Strict inequality on rationals gives Dedekind cuts

is-dedekind-cut-le-ℚ :
  (x : ℚ) →
  is-dedekind-cut
    (λ (q : ℚ) → le-ℚ-Prop q x)
    (λ (r : ℚ) → le-ℚ-Prop x r)
is-dedekind-cut-le-ℚ x =
  ( exists-lesser-ℚ x , exists-greater-ℚ x) ,
  ( ( λ (q : ℚ) →
      dense-le-ℚ q x ,
      elim-exists
        ( le-ℚ-Prop q x)
        ( λ r (H , H') → transitive-le-ℚ q r x H' H)) ,
    ( λ (r : ℚ) →
      α x r ∘ dense-le-ℚ x r ,
      elim-exists
        ( le-ℚ-Prop x r)
        ( λ q (H , H') → transitive-le-ℚ x q r H H'))) ,
  ( λ (q : ℚ) (H , H') → asymmetric-le-ℚ q x H H') ,
  ( located-le-ℚ x)
  where
    α :
      (a b : ℚ) →
      exists ℚ (λ r → le-ℚ-Prop a r ∧ le-ℚ-Prop r b) →
      exists ℚ (λ r → le-ℚ-Prop r b ∧ le-ℚ-Prop a r)
    α a b =
      elim-exists
        ( ∃ ℚ (λ r → le-ℚ-Prop r b ∧ le-ℚ-Prop a r))
        ( λ r ( p , q) → intro-exists r ( q , p))

The canonical map from ℚ to ℝ

real-ℚ : ℚ → ℝ lzero
real-ℚ x =
  real-dedekind-cut
    ( λ (q : ℚ) → le-ℚ-Prop q x)
    ( λ (r : ℚ) → le-ℚ-Prop x r)
    ( is-dedekind-cut-le-ℚ x)

The property of being a rational real number

module _
  {l : Level} (x : ℝ l) (p : ℚ)
  where

  is-rational-ℝ-Prop : Prop l
  is-rational-ℝ-Prop =
    (¬' (lower-cut-ℝ x p)) ∧ (¬' (upper-cut-ℝ x p))

  is-rational-ℝ : UU l
  is-rational-ℝ = type-Prop is-rational-ℝ-Prop

all-eq-is-rational-ℝ :
  {l : Level} (x : ℝ l) (p q : ℚ) →
  is-rational-ℝ x p →
  is-rational-ℝ x q →
  p ＝ q
all-eq-is-rational-ℝ x p q H H' =
  trichotomy-le-ℚ p q left-case id right-case
  where
  left-case : le-ℚ p q → p ＝ q
  left-case I =
    ex-falso
      ( elim-disjunction
        ( empty-Prop)
        ( pr1 H)
        ( pr2 H')
        ( is-located-lower-upper-cut-ℝ x p q I))

  right-case : le-ℚ q p → p ＝ q
  right-case I =
    ex-falso
      ( elim-disjunction
        ( empty-Prop)
        ( pr1 H')
        ( pr2 H)
        ( is-located-lower-upper-cut-ℝ x q p I))

is-prop-rational-real : {l : Level} (x : ℝ l) → is-prop (Σ ℚ (is-rational-ℝ x))
is-prop-rational-real x =
  is-prop-all-elements-equal
    ( λ p q →
      eq-type-subtype
        ( is-rational-ℝ-Prop x)
        ( all-eq-is-rational-ℝ x (pr1 p) (pr1 q) (pr2 p) (pr2 q)))

The subtype of rational reals

subtype-rational-real : {l : Level} → ℝ l → Prop l
subtype-rational-real x =
  Σ ℚ (is-rational-ℝ x) , is-prop-rational-real x

Rational-ℝ : (l : Level) → UU (lsuc l)
Rational-ℝ l =
  type-subtype subtype-rational-real

module _
  {l : Level} (x : Rational-ℝ l)
  where

  real-rational-ℝ : ℝ l
  real-rational-ℝ = pr1 x

  rational-rational-ℝ : ℚ
  rational-rational-ℝ = pr1 (pr2 x)

  is-rational-rational-ℝ : is-rational-ℝ real-rational-ℝ rational-rational-ℝ
  is-rational-rational-ℝ = pr2 (pr2 x)

Properties

The real embedding of a rational number is rational

is-rational-real-ℚ : (p : ℚ) → is-rational-ℝ (real-ℚ p) p
is-rational-real-ℚ p = (irreflexive-le-ℚ p , irreflexive-le-ℚ p)

Rational real numbers are embedded rationals

eq-real-rational-is-rational-ℝ :
  (x : ℝ lzero) (q : ℚ) (H : is-rational-ℝ x q) → real-ℚ q ＝ x
eq-real-rational-is-rational-ℝ x q H =
  eq-eq-lower-cut-ℝ
    ( real-ℚ q)
    ( x)
    ( eq-has-same-elements-subtype
      ( λ p → le-ℚ-Prop p q)
      ( lower-cut-ℝ x)
      ( λ r →
        pair
          ( λ I →
            elim-disjunction
              ( lower-cut-ℝ x r)
              ( id)
              ( λ H' → ex-falso (pr2 H H'))
              ( is-located-lower-upper-cut-ℝ x r q I))
          ( trichotomy-le-ℚ r q
            ( λ I _ → I)
            ( λ E H' → ex-falso (pr1 (tr (is-rational-ℝ x) (inv E) H) H'))
            ( λ I H' → ex-falso (pr1 H (le-lower-cut-ℝ x q r I H'))))))

The canonical map from rationals to rational reals

rational-real-ℚ : ℚ → Rational-ℝ lzero
rational-real-ℚ q = (real-ℚ q , q , is-rational-real-ℚ q)

The rationals and rational reals are equivalent

is-section-rational-real-ℚ :
  (q : ℚ) →
  rational-rational-ℝ (rational-real-ℚ q) ＝ q
is-section-rational-real-ℚ q = refl

is-retraction-rational-real-ℚ :
  (x : Rational-ℝ lzero) →
  rational-real-ℚ (rational-rational-ℝ x) ＝ x
is-retraction-rational-real-ℚ (x , q , H) =
  eq-type-subtype
    subtype-rational-real
    ( ap real-ℚ α ∙ eq-real-rational-is-rational-ℝ x q H)
  where
    α : rational-rational-ℝ (x , q , H) ＝ q
    α = refl

equiv-rational-real : Rational-ℝ lzero ≃ ℚ
pr1 equiv-rational-real = rational-rational-ℝ
pr2 equiv-rational-real =
  section-rational-rational-ℝ , retraction-rational-rational-ℝ
  where
  section-rational-rational-ℝ : section rational-rational-ℝ
  section-rational-rational-ℝ =
    (rational-real-ℚ , is-section-rational-real-ℚ)

  retraction-rational-rational-ℝ : retraction rational-rational-ℝ
  retraction-rational-rational-ℝ =
    (rational-real-ℚ , is-retraction-rational-real-ℚ)
