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 X is said to be I-graded for an index set I if it has a gradation or grading, i.e. a decomposition into a direct sum X = \bigoplus_ X_i of structures; the elements of X_i are said to be "homogeneous of degree ''i''. ** The index set I is most commonly \N or \Z, and may be required to have extra structure depending on the type of X. ** Grading by \Z_2 (i.e. \Z/2\Z) is also important; see e.g. signed set (the \Z_2-graded sets). ** The trivial (\Z- or \N-) gradation has X_0 = X, X_i = 0 for i \neq 0 and a suitable trivial structure 0. ** An algebraic structure is said to be doubly graded if the index set is a direct product of sets; the pairs may be called "bidegrees" (e.g. see Spectral sequence). * A I-graded vector space or graded linear space is thus a vector space with a decomposition into a direct sum V = \bigoplus_ V_ ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Ring Without Identity
In mathematics, and more specifically in abstract algebra, a rng (or non-unital ring or pseudo-ring) is an algebraic structure satisfying the same properties as a ring, but without assuming the existence of a multiplicative identity. The term ''rng'', pronounced like ''rung'' (IPA: ), is meant to suggest that it is a ring without ''i'', that is, without the requirement for an identity element. There is no consensus in the community as to whether the existence of a multiplicative identity must be one of the ring axioms (see '). The term ''rng'' was coined to alleviate this ambiguity when people want to refer explicitly to a ring without the axiom of multiplicative identity. A number of algebras of functions considered in analysis are not unital, for instance the algebra of functions decreasing to zero at infinity, especially those with compact support on some (non-compact) space. Rngs appear in the following chain of class inclusions: Definition Formally, a rng is a set '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Differential Graded Algebra
In mathematics â particularly in homological algebra, algebraic topology, and algebraic geometry â a differential graded algebra (or DGA, or DG algebra) is an algebraic structure often used to capture information about a topological or geometric space. Explicitly, a differential graded algebra is a graded associative algebra with a chain complex structure that is compatible with the algebra structure. In geometry, the de Rham algebra of differential forms on a manifold has the structure of a differential graded algebra, and it encodes the de Rham cohomology of the manifold. In algebraic topology, the singular cochains of a topological space form a DGA encoding the singular cohomology. Moreover, American mathematician Dennis Sullivan developed a DGA to encode the rational homotopy type of topological spaces. __TOC__ Definitions Let A_\bullet = \bigoplus\nolimits_ A_i be a \mathbb-graded algebra, with product \cdot, equipped with a map d\colon A_\bullet \to A_ ...

Product Rule
In calculus, the product rule (or Leibniz rule or Leibniz product rule) is a formula used to find the derivatives of products of two or more functions. For two functions, it may be stated in Lagrange's notation as (u \cdot v)' = u ' \cdot v + u \cdot v' or in Leibniz's notation as \frac (u\cdot v) = \frac \cdot v + u \cdot \frac. The rule may be extended or generalized to products of three or more functions, to a rule for higher-order derivatives of a product, and to other contexts. Discovery Discovery of this rule is credited to Gottfried Leibniz, who demonstrated it using "infinitesimals" (a precursor to the modern differential). (However, J. M. Child, a translator of Leibniz's papers, argues that it is due to Isaac Barrow.) Here is Leibniz's argument: Let ''u'' and ''v'' be functions. Then ''d(uv)'' is the same thing as the difference between two successive ''uvs; let one of these be ''uv'', and the other ''u+du'' times ''v+dv''; then: \begin d(u\cdot v) & = (u + d ...

Algebra Over A Ring
In mathematics, an algebra over a field (often simply called an algebra) is a vector space equipped with a bilinear product. Thus, an algebra is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with operations of multiplication and addition and scalar multiplication by elements of a field and satisfying the axioms implied by "vector space" and "bilinear". The multiplication operation in an algebra may or may not be associative, leading to the notions of associative algebras where associativity of multiplication is assumed, and non-associative algebras, where associativity is not assumed (but not excluded, either). Given an integer ''n'', the ring of real square matrices of order ''n'' is an example of an associative algebra over the field of real numbers under matrix addition and matrix multiplication since matrix multiplication is associative. Three-dimensional Euclidean space with multiplication given by the vector cross product is an example of a nonassociative a ...

Graded Algebra
In mathematics, in particular abstract algebra, a graded ring is a ring such that the underlying additive group is a direct sum of abelian groups R_i such that . The index set is usually the set of nonnegative integers or the set of integers, but can be any monoid. The direct sum decomposition is usually referred to as gradation or grading. A graded module is defined similarly (see below for the precise definition). It generalizes graded vector spaces. A graded module that is also a graded ring is called a graded algebra. A graded ring could also be viewed as a graded -algebra. The associativity is not important (in fact not used at all) in the definition of a graded ring; hence, the notion applies to non-associative algebras as well; e.g., one can consider a graded Lie algebra. First properties Generally, the index set of a graded ring is assumed to be the set of nonnegative integers, unless otherwise explicitly specified. This is the case in this article. A graded r ...

Differential Graded Category
In mathematics, especially homological algebra, a differential graded category, often shortened to dg-category or DG category, is a category whose morphism sets are endowed with the additional structure of a differential graded \Z-module. In detail, this means that \operatorname(A,B), the morphisms from any object ''A'' to another object ''B'' of the category is a direct sum :\bigoplus_\operatorname_n(A,B) and there is a differential ''d'' on this graded group, i.e., for each ''n'' there is a linear map :d\colon \operatorname_n(A,B) \rightarrow \operatorname_(A,B), which has to satisfy d \circ d = 0. This is equivalent to saying that \operatorname(A,B) is a cochain complex. Furthermore, the composition of morphisms \operatorname(A,B) \otimes \operatorname(B,C) \rightarrow \operatorname(A,C) is required to be a map of complexes, and for all objects ''A'' of the category, one requires d(\operatorname_A) = 0.

Direct Sum Of Modules
In abstract algebra, the direct sum is a construction which combines several modules into a new, larger module. The direct sum of modules is the smallest module which contains the given modules as submodules with no "unnecessary" constraints, making it an example of a coproduct. Contrast with the direct product, which is the dual notion. The most familiar examples of this construction occur when considering vector spaces (modules over a field) and abelian groups (modules over the ring Z of integers). The construction may also be extended to cover Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces. See the article decomposition of a module for a way to write a module as a direct sum of submodules. Construction for vector spaces and abelian groups We give the construction first in these two cases, under the assumption that we have only two objects. Then we generalize to an arbitrary family of arbitrary modules. The key elements of the general construction are more clearly identified ...

Module (mathematics)
In mathematics, a module is a generalization of the notion of vector space in which the field of scalars is replaced by a (not necessarily commutative) ring. The concept of a ''module'' also generalizes the notion of an abelian group, since the abelian groups are exactly the modules over the ring of integers. Like a vector space, a module is an additive abelian group, and scalar multiplication is distributive over the operations of addition between elements of the ring or module and is compatible with the ring multiplication. Modules are very closely related to the representation theory of groups. They are also one of the central notions of commutative algebra and homological algebra, and are used widely in algebraic geometry and algebraic topology. Introduction and definition Motivation In a vector space, the set of scalars is a field and acts on the vectors by scalar multiplication, subject to certain axioms such as the distributive law. In a module, the scal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
