Towers of algebras #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
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 is_scalar_tower R S A
, the later asserting the
compatibility condition (r • s) • a = r • (s • a)
.
An important definition is to_alg_hom 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 R
-module M
.
This is a stronger version of distrib_mul_action.to_linear_map
, and could also have been
called algebra.to_module_End
.
Equations
- algebra.lsmul R M = {to_fun := distrib_mul_action.to_linear_map R M is_scalar_tower.to_smul_comm_class', map_one' := _, map_mul' := _, map_zero' := _, map_add' := _, commutes' := _}
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
.
