The fibres at units of a filtered coefficient algebra #
For an increasing multiplicative family M of submodules of an associative algebra B and a
unit a of the base ring, evaluation at a on coeffSubalgebra M has kernel generated by
X - a. If the filtration is exhaustive, the quotient is therefore B, and so is the tensor
base change along evaluation R[X] → R at a. The algebra B need not be commutative.
This is the specialization at a unit of the Rees construction; see J. Dixmier, Enveloping Algebras, for filtered enveloping algebras and their Rees algebras.
The ideal generated by the central element X - a is two-sided.
The ideal generated by the central element X - 1 is two-sided.
Evaluation at a unit is surjective when the filtration is exhaustive.
The quotient of coeffSubalgebra M by X - a, for a unit a, is B when the filtration
is exhaustive and increasing.
Instances For
The quotient comparison is evaluation at a on representatives.
The inverse quotient comparison sends the value at a of a representative to its class.
Base change along evaluation R[X] → R at a unit a recovers B.
The parameter action on the left tensor factor is evaluation at a.
Instances For
The base-change comparison sends a pure tensor to scalar multiplication of its value
at a.
The inverse base-change comparison sends the value at a of p to 1 ⊗ p.
