The tangent Lie algebra of the additive group #

The vector group represented by SymmetricAlgebra R M has B-valued tangent module M →ₗ[R] B. Concretely, a counit-valued derivation is determined by its values on the generators SymmetricAlgebra.ι R M x, and every linear assignment of generator values extends uniquely to such a derivation. AdditiveGroup.tangentLinearEquiv packages this as an R-linear equivalence. Specializing to M = R gives AdditiveGroup.gaTangentLinearEquiv, the identification of the tangent module of 𝔾ₐ with B.

Over commutative rings, the convolution bracket of two tangent derivations is zero. It is enough to calculate on a generator: the generator is primitive, so both convolution products vanish there. Thus the tangent Lie algebra of every additive vector group is abelian.

The inverse tangent construction uses SymmetricAlgebra.mkDerivation: a linear map f : M →ₗ[R] B extends uniquely from the canonical generators. No choice of basis or finiteness hypothesis on M is needed.

Main declarations #

The tangent module of the additive vector group represented by SymmetricAlgebra R M is the module M →ₗ[R] B of possible generator values.

The equivalence sends a derivation d to x ↦ d (SymmetricAlgebra.ι R M x), transported from the counit coefficient synonym back to B. Its inverse sends f : M →ₗ[R] B to the unique derivation taking each generator to f x.

    The vector-group tangent equivalence evaluates a derivation on the symmetric-algebra generator.

    @[simp]

    The inverse vector-group tangent equivalence has the prescribed value on every generator.

    The tangent module of the one-dimensional additive group 𝔾ₐ is the value algebra B.

    This is the specialization of tangentLinearEquiv to the rank-one coordinate module M = R; it sends a derivation to its value on the coordinate SymmetricAlgebra.ι R R 1.

      The 𝔾ₐ tangent equivalence reads a derivation on the coordinate ι(1).

      A tangent derivation annihilates every power other than the first of a coordinate generator.

      The generator of a vector group is primitive, so its counit vanishes; the Leibniz rule then leaves the factor ι(x) ^ (k - 1), which acts on the counit coefficient algebra through that vanishing counit. Only the linear term of a coordinate function survives differentiation at the identity, which is what makes a differential read off a linear coefficient.

      The derivation corresponding to b : B under the 𝔾ₐ tangent equivalence takes the coordinate ι(1) to b.

      The convolution Lie bracket on the tangent space of an additive vector group is zero.

      Indeed, every symmetric-algebra generator is primitive. Both convolution products of two counit-valued derivations vanish on primitive elements, and derivations are determined by their values on the generators.
