The direct-sum grading of the divided power algebra #
For a module M over a commutative semiring R, the homogeneous pieces Γ^d_R(M) of
DividedPowerAlgebra R M (see DividedPowerAlgebra.homogeneousSubmodule) form an internal
direct sum: every element is uniquely a finite sum of homogeneous elements. Together with the
multiplicativity of the pieces this makes DividedPowerAlgebra R M an ℕ-graded R-algebra, in
which dp R d m has degree d. In particular DirectSum.decomposeLinearEquiv identifies
DividedPowerAlgebra R M with ⨁ d, Γ^d_R(M), and its inverse is the sum map.
No freeness, finiteness or characteristic hypothesis is imposed. The degree-zero projection of
the grading is the augmentation followed by the structure map R → Γ_R(M).

Implementation notes #
Directness cannot be obtained by dividing by factorials: over ZMod 2, dp 1 1 ^ 2 = 0 while
dp 2 1 ≠ 0. Instead, giving the generator dp R n m the weight n defines an algebra map
DividedPowerAlgebra R M → (DividedPowerAlgebra R M)[X], dp R n m ↦ dp R n m • X ^ n, through
the universal property DividedPowerAlgebra.lift'. It is multiplication by X ^ d on the
degree-d piece, so the X ^ d-coefficient of its value recovers the degree-d component of a
sum of homogeneous elements.

Instances For
The projection onto the degree-d piece is the identity on that piece.
The functorial map on divided power algebras, possibly changing the base ring to an
R-algebra S, commutes with taking degree-d components.
The degree-zero component of an element is its augmentation, viewed in Γ_R(M) through the
structure map. Thus the degree-zero projection GradedRing.projZeroRingHom is the identity on
scalars and kills every positive homogeneous piece.
