The degree-zero part of a module homomorphism #
An arbitrary homomorphism between internally graded modules need not be homogeneous, nor a
finite sum of homogeneous homomorphisms. Its degree-zero part nevertheless exists: on a
homogeneous input of degree p, retain just the degree-p component of the output.
This operation preserves linearity over the graded algebra, not just over the coefficient ring. Composition with a degree-zero map on either side commutes with taking the degree-zero part. Consequently an ungraded lift of a graded map can be replaced by a graded lift. This is the bridge from projective underlying modules to projective objects in the graded category.

The degree-zero part of an A-linear map between graded A-modules. On a homogeneous
input of degree p, it retains the degree-p component of the output. No finite-generation
hypothesis is needed.

Instances For
On a homogeneous input, the degree-zero part is the corresponding output component.
The degree-zero part is a homogeneous module map of degree zero.
Taking the degree-zero part fixes precisely the maps homogeneous of degree zero.
Postcomposition by a homogeneous map of degree zero commutes with taking the degree-zero part. This allows an ungraded factorization of a graded map to be made graded.
Precomposition by a homogeneous map of degree zero commutes with taking the degree-zero part.
