Topic: Why `Derivation` for `CommSemiring`


Yiming Fu (Jun 01 2025 at 12:45):

I noticed that the definition of Derivation is currently set up for CommSemiring. Why do we need CommSemiring here? I'm trying to prove that the ExteriorAlgebra is a differential graded algebra—that is, a graded algebra equipped with a Derivation. I don't think the CommSemiring assumption is necessary.
