Inverse Preservation under Multiplicative Semiring Action: $x \cdot m^{-1} = (x \cdot m)^{-1}$
Informal description
Let $M$ be a monoid acting multiplicatively on a division ring $F$ (i.e., $M$ has a multiplicative semiring action on $F$). Then for any $x \in M$ and any nonzero $m \in F$, the action of $x$ on the inverse of $m$ equals the inverse of the action of $x$ on $m$, i.e., $x \cdot m^{-1} = (x \cdot m)^{-1}$.
