Graded simple modules of a nonnegatively graded algebra with split degree-zero part #
Let A be a k-algebra graded by 𝒜 : ℤ → Submodule k A and let e ∈ 𝒜 0.
The quotient construction does not require idempotence.
Write A₊e for the left ideal generated by the products x e with x homogeneous of positive
degree. The graded module TauCeti.gradedPositiveMulQuotient is the quotient Ae / A₊e,
the cokernel of
the inclusion of graded modules A₊e ⟶ Ae.
Suppose that A is nonnegatively graded, and that a complete family of orthogonal nonzero
idempotents eᵢ of degree zero spans the degree-zero piece 𝒜 0. This is the situation of the
path-length grading of a path algebra of a finite quiver, or of its quotient by a homogeneous
ideal contained in the arrow ideal. Then A₊eᵢ is the graded radical of A eᵢ, the intersection
of its maximal graded submodules, so Sᵢ = A eᵢ / A₊eᵢ is the graded head of the graded projective
A eᵢ, and:
- the graded head
SᵢofA eᵢis one-dimensional, spanned by the class ofeᵢin degree zero, soeⱼacts on it byδᵢⱼand the graded dimension ofeⱼ • Sᵢisδᵢⱼ; Sᵢis a simple graded module;- every simple finite graded module
Mis isomorphic to an internal shiftSᵢ{p}: takepto be the top degree ofMandm ∈ Mₚwitheᵢ m ≠ 0; positive-degree elements killeᵢ m, sox eᵢ ↦ x eᵢ mdescends to a nonzero mapSᵢ{p} ⟶ M, which is injective becauseSᵢis simple, and surjective becauseMis simple.
The last argument uses only simplicity of the quotients Aeᵢ / A₊eᵢ, not the splitting of the
degree-zero piece; TauCeti.Algebra.Category.GradedModuleCat.Idempotent.PrimitiveHead applies it
to primitive idempotents over a semisimple degree-zero piece.

The head of Ae #
The left ideal A₊e generated by the products x e with x homogeneous of positive
degree. It is the kernel of the quotient map Ae ⟶ Ae / A₊e
(TauCeti.gradedPositiveMulQuotientMk_eq_zero_iff).
Instances For
The quotient Ae / A₊e by the left ideal generated by the products x e with x
homogeneous of positive degree, for any degree-zero element e; no idempotence is required. When
A is nonnegatively graded and its degree-zero piece is spanned by a complete family of nonzero
orthogonal idempotents containing e, it is the graded head of Ae, a simple graded module
(TauCeti.simple_gradedIdempotentHead).
Instances For
The quotient Ae / A₊e is finitely generated, as a quotient of the cyclic module Ae.
The quotient Ae / A₊e is finite-dimensional when A is.
The quotient Ae / A₊e is a finite graded module.
The quotient map Ae ⟶ Ae / A₊e, sending an element of Ae to its class.
Instances For
Every element of Ae / A₊e is the class of an element of Ae.
The kernel of Ae ⟶ Ae / A₊e is A₊e.
The homogeneous pieces of Ae / A₊e: the degree-p piece consists of the classes of the
elements of Ae of degree p.
The quotient map Ae ⟶ Ae / A₊e, bundled as a morphism of graded modules.
Instances For
The map Ae / A₊e ⟶ M sending the class of x to x m, for an element m of an
A-module M killed by A₊e.
Instances For
The map Ae / A₊e ⟶ M induced by m sends the class of x to x m.
Two linear maps out of Ae / A₊e agreeing on the classes of all elements of Ae are
equal.
The map Ae / A₊e ⟶ M induced by m is unique: it is the only linear map sending the
class of each x to x m.
Ae / A₊e is concentrated in degree zero for an idempotent e of degree zero of a
nonnegatively graded algebra: its pieces in all nonzero degrees vanish.
Ae / A₊e is its own degree-zero piece for an idempotent e of degree zero of a
nonnegatively graded algebra.
In a nonnegatively graded algebra, every element of A₊e has vanishing components in all
degrees q ≤ 0.
The head quotient is an isomorphism on each degree-zero coordinate e • M₀.
No semisimplicity or splitting hypothesis is needed: the kernel A₊e has no degree-zero part.
Nonnegative gradings with split degree-zero part #
A degree-zero element of A eᵢ is a scalar multiple of eᵢ.
Every simple finite graded module is a shift of some A eᵢ / A₊eᵢ, for a complete family
of orthogonal idempotents eᵢ of degree zero such that A eᵢ / A₊eᵢ is a simple module whenever
eᵢ ≠ 0. If p is the top degree of M and m ∈ Mₚ satisfies eᵢ m ≠ 0, then
x eᵢ ↦ x eᵢ m is an isomorphism (A eᵢ / A₊eᵢ){p} ≅ M. No positivity of the grading and no
splitting of the degree-zero part is needed.
The class of f in A f / A₊f is nonzero for a nonzero element f of degree zero of a
nonnegatively graded algebra: A₊f has no degree-zero component.
A f / A₊f is a nonzero module for a nonzero element f of degree zero of a nonnegatively
graded algebra.
The graded dimension of eⱼ • Sᵢ is δᵢⱼ: the graded head Sᵢ of A eᵢ is
one-dimensional, concentrated in degree zero, and eⱼ acts on it by δᵢⱼ.
Simplicity and exhaustiveness #
The underlying vector space of the head of A eᵢ is one-dimensional.
Forgetting the grading of an idempotent head still gives a simple module.
Distinct nonzero orthogonal idempotents give nonisomorphic underlying heads.
The graded head Sᵢ of A eᵢ is a simple graded module. It is one-dimensional, spanned by
the class of eᵢ, so a nonzero graded submodule is everything.
Every simple finite graded module is a shift of a graded head Sᵢ, for a nonnegatively
graded algebra whose degree-zero piece is spanned by a complete family of orthogonal idempotents
eᵢ: each nonzero eᵢ has a simple head (TauCeti.isSimpleModule_gradedIdempotentHead).
