Associativity of balanced tensor products #
For a right B-module M, a (B,C)-bimodule N, and a left C-module P, the two balanced tensor products (M tensor_B N) tensor_C P and M tensor_B (N tensor_C P) are canonically identified. The map sends a nested pure tensor to the other parenthesization and preserves the two outer actions. It uses the balanced quotient universal property at both stages, rather than assuming that either balancing algebra is commutative. This supplies the carrier associator needed for graded triple braid products and transfer through supplied bimodules.
Reassociate a pair of balanced tensor products through the middle bimodule.
Instances For
The balanced associator changes only the parentheses of a pure tensor.
The inverse balanced associator restores the original parentheses.
The balanced associator preserves any commuting action on its first factor.
The balanced associator preserves any commuting action on its last factor.
Mapping the three factors commutes with balanced reassociation.
