A word-filtered algebra whose associated graded is Noetherian is Noetherian #
Let f : M →ₗ[R] A be a linear family of generators of an algebra A and let
TauCeti.Algebra.wordFiltration f be the filtration it generates. This file proves the
filtered-to-graded transfer of the Noetherian property: if the associated graded ring
TauCeti.Algebra.wordFiltration.AssociatedGraded f is left Noetherian and the filtration is
exhaustive, then A is left Noetherian. The specialization to the PBW filtration of a universal
enveloping algebra is TauCeti/Algebra/Lie/UniversalEnveloping/PBW/Noetherian/Basic.lean; it is the
companion of the domain transfer in TauCeti/Algebra/WordFiltration/Domain.lean, which has the
same shape and the same two inputs.
The mechanism is the symbol ideal. A left ideal I ⊆ A meets the filtration in
I ⊓ F n, and the classes of those elements in the graded piece F n / F_{n-1} form an
R-submodule symbolSubmodule f I n of that piece, the degree-n symbols of I. Multiplying a
symbol of I on the left by any homogeneous class again gives a symbol of I, because I is a
left ideal, so the ideal symbolIdeal f I of the associated graded generated by all the symbols
has no homogeneous component beyond them: an element of the associated graded lies in
symbolIdeal f I exactly when each of its homogeneous components is a symbol of I
(mem_symbolIdeal_iff).
Symbols therefore pin a left ideal inside a larger one: if I ≤ J are left ideals and the
symbol ideal of J is contained in that of I, the two coincide (eq_of_le_of_symbolIdeal_le).
Nothing is claimed here about left ideals that are not nested. The proof is an induction on the
filtration degree: if a lies in the larger ideal and in F n, its degree-n symbol is a symbol
of the smaller ideal I, so a differs from an element of I by an element of F_{n-1}, and
that difference is handled by the inductive hypothesis; exhaustivity starts the induction for every
a. An ascending chain of left ideals of A then has an ascending chain of symbol ideals, which
stabilizes because the associated graded is Noetherian, and every step past that point is a nested
pair with the same symbol ideal, hence an equality.
Only the left ideals of A are considered, matching Mathlib's IsNoetherianRing; the
right-handed statement is the same theorem read in the opposite algebra, whose word filtration is
generated by the same family.

The class of an element of a left ideal is a symbol of that ideal.
Every symbol of a left ideal is the class of an element of that ideal.
The symbols of a left ideal absorb homogeneous multiplication on the left: a homogeneous
class of degree i times a degree-j symbol of I is a degree-i + j symbol of I.

Instances For
The homogeneous symbol of an element of a left ideal lies in the symbol ideal. Not a simp
lemma: TauCeti.Algebra.wordFiltration.mem_symbolIdeal_iff already rewrites its left-hand side.
Membership in the symbol ideal is degreewise: an element of the associated graded lies in
the symbol ideal of I exactly when every one of its homogeneous components is a symbol of I. In
particular the symbol ideal adds nothing to the symbols in any single degree.
Comparing symbol ideals compares symbols degreewise.
Nested left ideals with the same symbols are equal: if I ≤ J are left ideals of an
exhaustively word-filtered algebra and the symbol ideal of J is contained in that of I, then
I = J. Only that one inclusion of symbol ideals is hypothesized, the other being the monotonicity
TauCeti.Algebra.wordFiltration.symbolIdeal_mono; the statement says nothing about left ideals
that are not nested.
