Natural Isomorphism of $S(V[1])$ and $(\bigwedge V)[n]$

Let $V:=\oplus_{j\in\mathbb{Z}}V_j$ be a graded $\mathbb{F}$-vector space over the field $\mathbb{F}$. The graded tensor product of graded vector spaces is given by $V \otimes W: …

An example of a tensor product consisting of only simple tensors?

Hy guys. I'm doing some independent analysis which makes use of the tensor product of modules (over commutative rings with unit 1, and ring homomorphisms map $1 \mapsto 1$). Let $\ …

Tensor product of C*-algebras of bounded, uniformly continuous functions on metric spaces

This is a follow up question to this one. If $X$ is a metric space, denote by $C_u(X)$ the $C^\ast$-algebra of all bounded, uniformly continuous functions on $X$ (with the sup-nor …

Is there a wedge which operates on multiple vector spaces?

Let's say I have two vector spaces $V,W$ , and we have the graded algebras $\Lambda(V),\Lambda(W)$, each with an operation $\wedge$. I'd like to know if there are "many" $\wedge$ o …

Inductive tensor product and smooth functions

Given complete, locally convex Hausdorff vector spaces $E$ and $F$, let $$ E \otimes_i F, \qquad E \otimes_\pi F$$ denote the (completed) inductive and projective tensor products r …

Classification of symtrivial modules over a PID

Let us call a module $M$ over a commutative ring $R$ symtrivial if the symmetry $M \otimes M \to M \otimes M, a \otimes b \mapsto b \otimes a$ equals the identity (the same notion …

Is the tensor product of polyhedra a polyhedron?

Conventions: A polytope in a finite-dimensional $\mathbb R$-vector space $V$ is defined to be a convex hull of finitely many points in $V$. A polyhedron in a finite-dimensional $\m …

A construction of tensor product (Coutinho’s book: D-module)

I am reading the book of Coutinho: A primer of Algebraic $D$-modules. In past, I usually study commutative algebra, so I am a freshmen with non-commutative (Weyl) algebra? In Cha …

Limit of simple tensors

I have two questions which are intuitively true. Let $V$ be a Hilbert space. As usual we can turn $V\otimes V$ or $V\otimes V\otimes V$ into Hilbert spaces by intorducing the natu …

Tensor product of simple modules

Let $M$ a right simple module and $N$ be a left simple module over a ring $R$. I'm seeking a kind of Schur's lemma, with $\mathrm{Hom}_R (M,N)$ replaced by $M \otimes_R N$. So my q …

Left-Module Structure on the Tensor Product ofTwo Left Modules

Given a noncommutative ring $R$, and two (left) $R$-modules $M$ and $N$, how does one define a left action on the the vector space tensor product $M \otimes N$? Multiplying on just …

Why are tensors a generalization of scalars, vectors, and matrices?

Take two vector spaces $V$ and $W$ over a field $F$. One may form the tensor product $V\otimes W$ and it fulfills an universal property. Elements of $V\otimes W$ are called tensors …

A doubt about tensor product on Hilbert Spaces

An operator is a bounded (i.e., continuous) linear transformation between Hilbert spaces. Let $\mathcal{B}[\mathcal{H}]$ be the set of all operators in the Hilbert space $\mathcal{ …

Associated graded of a filtration of a tensor product

I'm trying to understand a part of the PhD thesis of Kenji Lefèvre-Hasegawa (e.g. available here). My question is about the proof of Lemma 1.3.2.3b stating: Remarquons que nous …
