Towers of algebras #
In this file we prove basic facts about towers of algebra.
An algebra tower A/S/R is expressed by having instances of Algebra A S
,
Algebra R S
, Algebra R A
and IsScalarTower R S A
, the later asserting the
compatibility condition (r • s) • a = r • (s • a)
.
An important definition is toAlgHom R S A
, the canonical R
-algebra homomorphism S →ₐ[R] A
.
The R
-algebra morphism A → End (M)
corresponding to the representation of the algebra A
on the B
-module M
.
This is a stronger version of DistribMulAction.toLinearMap
, and could also have been
called Algebra.toModuleEnd
.
The typeclasses correspond to the situation where the types act on each other as
R ----→ B
| ⟍ |
| ⟍ |
↓ ↘ ↓
A ----→ M
where the diagram commutes, the action by R
commutes with everything, and the action by A
and
B
on M
commute.
Typically this is most useful with B = R
as Algebra.lsmul R R A : A →ₐ[R] Module.End R M
.
However this can be used to get the fact that left-multiplication by A
is right A
-linear, and
vice versa, as
example : A →ₐ[R] Module.End Aᵐᵒᵖ A := Algebra.lsmul R Aᵐᵒᵖ A
example : Aᵐᵒᵖ →ₐ[R] Module.End A A := Algebra.lsmul R A A
respectively; though LinearMap.mulLeft
and LinearMap.mulRight
can also be used here.

In a tower, the canonical map from the middle element to the top element is an algebra homomorphism over the bottom element.

If A
is an R
-algebra such that the induced morphism R →+* A
is surjective, then the
R
-module generated by a set X
equals the A
-module generated by X
