Nov 21, 2011 at 12:39 comment added Vladimir Dotsenko Oh, and for your last question: it is used in an awful lot of places, from deformation theory to theoretical computer science. Since the publication of Anick's paper in 1986, quite a few people rediscovered his results in various contexts!
Nov 21, 2011 at 12:08 comment added Vladimir Dotsenko Spans are over the ground field $k$, as well as tensor products (because of this we can compute Euler characteristics). The right $B$-module on $V\otimes B$ is via the action on $B$ alone: $(v\otimes b)b':=v\otimes(bb')$. Of course it works for any number of $a_i$'s, and the construction I use is a very special case of a construction due to David Anick (ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=846601).

Nov 21, 2011 at 11:55 comment added Alexander Chervov @Volodya Thank You ! But I not quite get: span - means what ? Algebra or module ? spanned from the left or from the both sides over B or over all algebra ? Tensor product - as algebras over C or as C vector spaces ? Why this is right modules than ? This probably works for any number of a_i - does it have some name ? where is it used ?
