What is the definition of this function?
I'm reading a paper and I didn't understand this notation used by the author:
Let E be a vector space and F be a subspace of E.
Let $S(E/F)$ be the symmetric algebra of $E/F$. For every element $P \...

Inequality for trace of a symmetric product?
Let $A$ be a real, positive-definite, symmetric operator on an $n$-dimensional space $V$. Write $\odot^k A$ for the action of $A$ on the symmetric power $\odot^k V$. Let $v_1,\dotsc,v_n$ be a basis ...

Is the (super-)symmetric power of the exterior algebra free?
Let $V$ be a vector space over $k$ of dimension $m$. (I'm only interested in the case $k=\mathbb{Q}$.) Let $R:=\Lambda^*V$ be the exterior algebra. It carries the structure of a supercommutative ring: ...

Coderivations of S(V) correspond to linear maps S(V) -> V. Only over characteristic 0?
Definition. Let $k$ be a commutative ring. Let $V$ be a $k$-module. We turn the symmetric algebra $\mathrm{S}\left(V\right)$ of $V$ into a graded Hopf algebra by defining the comultiplication
$\Delta ...

Where is there a treatment of "exponential monads"?
I have a category $C$, which is equipped with a symmetric monoidal structure (tensor product $\otimes$, unit object $1$). My category also has finite coproducts (I'll write them using $\oplus$, and ...

Are cyclotomic Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras symmetric?
Recall that for k a field, a finite dimensional k-algebra A is called symmetric if it is isomorphic to its dual as a bimodule of itself. Which is to say, there's a trace map t:A -> k such that t(...
