Tensor Algebras #

Given a commutative semiring R, and an R-module M, we construct the tensor algebra of M. This is the free R-algebra generated (R-linearly) by the module M.

Notation #

  1. tensor_algebra R M is the tensor algebra itself. It is endowed with an R-algebra structure.
  2. tensor_algebra.ι R is the canonical R-linear map M → tensor_algebra R M.
  3. Given a linear map f : M → A to an R-algebra A, lift R f is the lift of f to an R-algebra morphism tensor_algebra R M → A.

Theorems #

  1. ι_comp_lift states that the composition (lift R f) ∘ (ι R) is identical to f.
  2. lift_unique states that whenever an R-algebra morphism g : tensor_algebra R M → A is given whose composition with ι R is f, then one has g = lift R f.
  3. hom_ext is a variant of lift_unique in the form of an extensionality theorem.
  4. lift_comp_ι is a combination of ι_comp_lift and lift_unique. It states that the lift of the composition of an algebra morphism with ι is the algebra morphism itself.

Implementation details #

As noted above, the tensor algebra of M is constructed as the free R-algebra generated by M, modulo the additional relations making the inclusion of M into an R-linear map.

If C holds for the algebra_map of r : R into tensor_algebra R M, the ι of x : M, and is preserved under addition and muliplication, then it holds for all of tensor_algebra R M.
