Exterior Algebras #
We construct the exterior algebra of a module M
over a commutative semiring R
.
Notation #
The exterior algebra of the R
-module M
is denoted as ExteriorAlgebra R M
.
It is endowed with the structure of an R
-algebra.
The n
th exterior power of the R
-module M
is denoted by exteriorPower R n M
;
it is of type Submodule R (ExteriorAlgebra R M)
and defined as
LinearMap.range (ExteriorAlgebra.ι R : M →ₗ[R] ExteriorAlgebra R M) ^ n
.
We also introduce the notation ⋀[R]^n M
for exteriorPower R n M
.
Given a linear morphism f : M → A
from a module M
to another R
-algebra A
, such that
cond : ∀ m : M, f m * f m = 0
, there is a (unique) lift of f
to an R
-algebra morphism,
which is denoted ExteriorAlgebra.lift R f cond
.
The canonical linear map M → ExteriorAlgebra R M
is denoted ExteriorAlgebra.ι R
.
Theorems #
The main theorems proved ensure that ExteriorAlgebra R M
satisfies the universal property
of the exterior algebra.
ι_comp_lift
is the fact that the composition ofι R
withlift R f cond
agrees withf
.lift_unique
ensures the uniqueness oflift R f cond
with respect to 1.
Definitions #
ιMulti
is theAlternatingMap
corresponding to the wedge product ofι R m
terms.
Implementation details #
The exterior algebra of M
is constructed as simply CliffordAlgebra (0 : QuadraticForm R M)
,
as this avoids us having to duplicate API.
