Let $k$ be a field, $A$ a $k$-algebra (probably noncommutative), and $M$ an $A$-module that's finite-dimensional as a vector space over $k$. Let $Gr(M;k)$ denote the set of all $k …

Suppose that $A = \bigcup_{n=0}^{\infty} A_n$ is a filtered algebra over a field $k$. The associated graded algebra is $\mathrm{gr} A = \bigoplus_{n=0}^{\infty} A_n/A_{n-1}$, wher …

Let $A$ be any bialgebra (associative, unital, etc.) over a ring $k$. Then among other things it has a counit $\epsilon : A \to k$, and hence an augmentation ideal $I = \ker \epsi …

I ran across the following statement in a paper, and it seems fishy to me: Lemma: If $A$ is any Hopf algebra, and if $U$ is an $\mathbb{N}_0$-filtered $A$-module algebra, then $U …

Let $M$ be a filtered module over a filtered algebra $A$, and suppose $gr(M)$ is flat over $gr(A)$, where $gr$ means the associated graded module and algebra, respectively. What c …

Given a filtered vector space (or module over a ring) 0=V0⊆V1⊆...⊆V, you can construct the associated graded vector space gr(V)=⊕iVi+1/Vi. Does gr(V) satisfy a …

Warning: older texts use the word "Hopf algebra" for what's now commonly called "bialgebra", whereas now "Hopf" is an extra condition. So as to avoid any confusion, I'll give my d …
