Produit tensoriel d'algèbresEn mathématique, le produit tensoriel de deux algèbres est une nouvelle algèbre. Soit un anneau commutatif. Soient deux -algèbres (non nécessairement commutatives). Leur structure de -algèbres est donnée par deux morphismes et . On peut les considérer comme des -modules et construire le produit tensoriel . Lorsque et commutent à , c'est-à-dire lorsque pour tout , on a et , on montre qu'il existe une loi de composition interne sur ce produit tensoriel uniquement déterminée par la règle pour tous et .
Dimension homologiqueEn algèbre, la dimension homologique d'un anneau R diffère en général de sa dimension de Krull et se définit à partir des résolutions projectives ou injectives des R-modules. On définit également la dimension faible à partir des résolutions plates des R-modules. La dimension de Krull (respectivement homologique, faible) de R peut être vue comme une mesure de l'éloignement de cet anneau par rapport à la classe des anneaux artiniens (resp. semi-simples, ), cette dimension étant nulle si, et seulement si R est artinien (resp.
Graded (mathematics)In mathematics, the term "graded" has a number of meanings, mostly related: In abstract algebra, it refers to a family of concepts: An algebraic structure is said to be -graded for an index set if it has a gradation or grading, i.e. a decomposition into a direct sum of structures; the elements of are said to be "homogeneous of degree i ". The index set is most commonly or , and may be required to have extra structure depending on the type of . Grading by (i.e. ) is also important; see e.g. signed set (the -graded sets).
Resolution (algebra)In mathematics, and more specifically in homological algebra, a resolution (or left resolution; dually a coresolution or right resolution) is an exact sequence of modules (or, more generally, of s of an ), which is used to define invariants characterizing the structure of a specific module or object of this category. When, as usually, arrows are oriented to the right, the sequence is supposed to be infinite to the left for (left) resolutions, and to the right for right resolutions.
Preadditive categoryIn mathematics, specifically in , a preadditive category is another name for an Ab-category, i.e., a that is over the , Ab. That is, an Ab-category C is a such that every hom-set Hom(A,B) in C has the structure of an abelian group, and composition of morphisms is bilinear, in the sense that composition of morphisms distributes over the group operation. In formulas: and where + is the group operation. Some authors have used the term additive category for preadditive categories, but here we follow the current trend of reserving this term for certain special preadditive categories (see below).
Dual objectIn , a branch of mathematics, a dual object is an analogue of a dual vector space from linear algebra for in arbitrary . It is only a partial generalization, based upon the categorical properties of duality for finite-dimensional vector spaces. An object admitting a dual is called a dualizable object. In this formalism, infinite-dimensional vector spaces are not dualizable, since the dual vector space V∗ doesn't satisfy the axioms. Often, an object is dualizable only when it satisfies some finiteness or compactness property.
Excellent ringIn commutative algebra, a quasi-excellent ring is a Noetherian commutative ring that behaves well with respect to the operation of completion, and is called an excellent ring if it is also universally catenary. Excellent rings are one answer to the problem of finding a natural class of "well-behaved" rings containing most of the rings that occur in number theory and algebraic geometry.
Ringed spaceIn mathematics, a ringed space is a family of (commutative) rings parametrized by open subsets of a topological space together with ring homomorphisms that play roles of restrictions. Precisely, it is a topological space equipped with a sheaf of rings called a structure sheaf. It is an abstraction of the concept of the rings of continuous (scalar-valued) functions on open subsets. Among ringed spaces, especially important and prominent is a locally ringed space: a ringed space in which the analogy between the stalk at a point and the ring of germs of functions at a point is valid.
