OR:

In commutative algebra, a Stanley decomposition is a way of writing a ring in terms of polynomial subrings. They were introduced by .


Definition

Suppose that a ring ''R'' is a quotient of a polynomial ring ''k'' 'x''1,...over a field by some ideal. A Stanley decomposition of ''R'' is a representation of ''R'' as a direct sum (of vector spaces) : R = \bigoplus_\alpha x_\alpha k(X_\alpha) where each ''x''''α'' is a monomial and each ''X''''α'' is a finite subset of the generators.
