Degree derivations of Novikov series #
Let ℓ : H →+ R be an additive map from the exponent group into the coefficient ring. Multiplying
the coefficient at each exponent h by ℓ h is a derivation of the Novikov ring Nov(R, H, N),
the degree derivation TauCeti.NovikovSeries.degreeDerivation ℓ: the Leibniz rule is the
identity ℓ (u + v) = ℓ u + ℓ v on the pairs of exponents contributing to a product. Since it does
not enlarge supports, the degree derivation preserves every period neighbourhood U_C, so it is
continuous and preserves the nonnegative subring. It is compatible with the inclusion of Novikov
series on a subgroup and with restriction along exponent homomorphisms.
Over a ℚ-algebra, the degree derivations along the period detect the coefficients of nonzero
period: composing N with a ℚ-linear functional f : ℝ → ℚ gives a degree derivation, and a
series killed by all of them vanishes at every exponent h with N h ≠ 0
(TauCeti.NovikovSeries.coeff_eq_zero_of_forall_degreeDerivation_eq_zero). This replaces the
derivative in the parameter of a one-parameter family: an identity between series supported in
positive periods follows from the identity between their degree derivatives.

Instances For
The restricted degree derivation agrees with the degree derivation on Novikov series.

Over a ℚ-algebra, the degree derivations along the period detect the coefficients of nonzero
period: if a is killed by the degree derivation along f ∘ N for every ℚ-linear functional
f : ℝ → ℚ, then a vanishes at every exponent h with N h ≠ 0.
