Presentations of algebras

A presentation of an R-algebra S is a distinguished family of generators and relations.

Main definition

• Algebra.Presentation: A presentation of an R-algebra S is a family of generators with
  1. rels: The type of relations.
  2. relation : relations → MvPolynomial vars R: The assignment of each relation to a polynomial in the generators.
• Algebra.Presentation.IsFinite: A presentation is called finite, if both variables and relations are finite.
• Algebra.Presentation.dimension: The dimension of a presentation is the number of generators minus the number of relations.

We also give constructors for localization, base change and composition.

TODO

• Define Homs of presentations.

Composition of presentations

Let S be an R-algebra with presentation P and T be an S-algebra with presentation Q. In this section we construct a presentation of T as an R-algebra.

For the underlying generators see Algebra.Generators.comp. The family of relations is indexed by Q.rels ⊕ P.rels.

We have two canonical maps: MvPolynomial P.vars R →ₐ[R] MvPolynomial (Q.vars ⊕ P.vars) R induced by Sum.inr and aux : MvPolynomial (Q.vars ⊕ P.vars) R →ₐ[R] MvPolynomial Q.vars S induced by the evaluation MvPolynomial P.vars R →ₐ[R] S (see below).

Now i : P.rels is mapped to the image of P.relation i under the first map and j : Q.rels is mapped to a pre-image under aux of Q.relation j (see comp_relation_aux for the construction of the pre-image and comp_relation_aux_map for a proof that it is indeed a pre-image).

The evaluation map factors as: MvPolynomial (Q.vars ⊕ P.vars) R →ₐ[R] MvPolynomial Q.vars S →ₐ[R] T, where the first map is aux. The goal is to compute that the kernel of this composition is spanned by the relations indexed by Q.rels ⊕ P.rels (span_range_relation_eq_ker_comp). One easily sees that this kernel is the pre-image under aux of the kernel of the evaluation of Q, where the latter is by assumption spanned by the relations Q.relation j.

Since aux is surjective (aux_surjective), the pre-image is the sum of the ideal spanned by the constructed pre-images of the Q.relation j and the kernel of aux. It hence remains to show that the kernel of aux is spanned by the image of the P.relation i under the canonical map MvPolynomial P.vars R →ₐ[R] MvPolynomial (Q.vars ⊕ P.vars) R. By assumption this span is the kernel of the evaluation map of P. For this, we use the isomorphism MvPolynomial (Q.vars ⊕ P.vars) R ≃ₐ[R] MvPolynomial Q.vars (MvPolynomial P.vars R) and MvPolynomial.ker_map.

Given presentations of T over S and of S over R, we may construct a presentation of T over R.
