Feb 17, 2011 at 20:53 comment added Ben Webster I believe pretty firmly that this is a duplicate of the cited question. I would vote to close on these grounds, if I weren't a moderator. Please direct discussion to tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion/963/…
Feb 17, 2011 at 17:50 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd Jan Weidner says that this is not intended to be an exact duplicate, but as written I don't see how mathoverflow.net/questions/1465/… is not more precise and answers the question asked here. So for now, I think this should be closed as duplicate. I would love to encourage more discussion of categorification, and so hope this question stays open; if it is going to, I ask that the question be precise-ified into something distinct from op. cit.
Feb 17, 2011 at 17:16 comment added Jan Weidner I don't think, that this is an exact duplicate. For example Martins answer would not fit the other question, which asks for a categorification by complexes of graded vectorspaces. Also I would love to read Todds answer :)

Feb 17, 2011 at 16:23 comment added j.c. The title of this question could be made more specific.
Feb 17, 2011 at 15:22 comment added Todd Trimble I think I have to object to the closing of this question, maybe mainly because I was writing a long answer which attempts to say that there may be more to it than is suggested by how the equation was rewritten in the possible duplicate. Grrr...

exact duplicate
Feb 17, 2011 at 14:03 comment added Simon Wadsley Incidentally, one could adapt the answers there by replacing $k[x]$ by $k[x]/(x^{n+1})$ to answer the second part. This seems less natural though.
Feb 17, 2011 at 13:14 comment added Simon Wadsley First part was also asked (and answered) here mathoverflow.net/questions/1465/…
Feb 17, 2011 at 11:48 comment added Jan Weidner I don't know, categorification is no precisely defined thing in my mind. Qiaochus answer contains a possible definition. However I also like Martins example very much, which does not fall under Qiaochus definition. Other possibilities would be to associate to graded things their "Hilbert polynomial" etc.

Feb 17, 2011 at 11:15 comment added Harry Gindi In particular, could you explain what you mean by a "categorification" of a rational function/power series?
Feb 17, 2011 at 11:08 comment added Harry Gindi Come on, you've asked questions on MO before. What is this supposed to be? Please fix it.
