Graded (mathematics)

In mathematics, the term “graded” has a number of meanings, mostly related:

In abstract algebra, it refers to a family of concepts:

  • An algebraic structure X is said to be I-graded for an index set I if it has a gradation or grading, i.e. a decomposition into a direct sum X =  ⊕ X of structures; the elements of X are said to be “homogeneous of degree i”.
    • The index set I is most commonly N or Z, and may be required to have extra structure depending on the type of X.
    • Grading by Z (i.e. Z/2Z) is also important.
    • The trivial (Z- or N-) gradation has X = X, X = 0 for i ≠ 0 and a suitable trivial structure 0.
    • An algebraic structure is said to be doubly graded if the index set is a direct product of sets; the pairs may be called “bidegrees” (e.g. see spectral sequence).
  • A I- graded vector space or graded linear space is thus a vector space with a decomposition into a direct sum V =  ⊕ V of spaces.
    • A graded linear map is a map between graded vector spaces respecting their gradations.
  • A graded ring is a ring that is a direct sum of abelian groups R such that RR ⊆ R, with i taken from some monoid, usually N or Z, or semigroup (for a ring without identity).
    • The associated graded ring of a commutative ring R with respect to a proper ideal I is grR =  ⊕ I/I.
  • A graded module is left module M over a graded ring which is a direct sum  ⊕ M of modules satisfying RM ⊆ M.
    • The associated graded module of an R-module M with respect to a proper ideal I is grM =  ⊕ IM/IM.
    • A differential graded module , differential graded Z-module or DG-module is a graded module M with a differential d: M → M: M → M making M a chain complex, i.e. d ∘ d = 0 .
  • A graded algebra is an algebra A over a ring R that is graded as a ring; if R is graded we also require AR ⊆ A ⊇ RA.
    • The graded Leibniz rule for a map d: A → A on a graded algebra A specifies that d(a ⋅ b) = (da) ⋅ b + ( − 1)a ⋅ (db) .
    • A differential graded algebra, DG-algebra or DGAlgebra is a graded algebra which is a differential graded module whose differential obeys the graded Leibniz rule.
    • A homogeneous derivation on a graded algebra A is a homogeneous linear map of grade d = |D| on A such that D(ab) = D(a)b + ɛaD(b), ɛ =  ± 1 acting on homogeneous elements of A.
    • A graded derivation is a sum of homogeneous derivations with the same ɛ.
    • A DGA is an augmented DG-algebra, or differential graded augmented algebra, (see differential graded algebra).
    • A superalgebra is a Z-graded algebra.
      • A graded-commutative superalgebra satisfies the “supercommutative” law yx = ( − 1)xy.  for homogeneous x,y, where ∣a∣ represents the “parity” of a, i.e. 0 or 1 depending on the component in which it lies.
    • CDGA may refer to the category of augmented differential graded commutative algebras.
  • A graded Lie algebra is a Lie algebra which is graded as a vector space by a gradation compatible with its Lie bracket.
    • A graded Lie superalgebra is a graded Lie algebra with the requirement for anticommutativity of its Lie bracket relaxed.
    • A supergraded Lie superalgebra is a graded Lie superalgebra with an additional super Z-gradation.
    • A Differential graded Lie algebra is a graded vector space over a field of characteristic zero together with a bilinear map [, ] : L ⊗ L → L and a differential d : L → L satisfying [x, y] = ( − 1)[y, x],  for any homogeneous elements x, y in L, the “graded Jacobi identity” and the graded Leibniz rule.
  • The Graded Brauer group is a synonym for the Brauer–Wall group BW(F) classifying finite-dimensional graded central division algebras over the field F.
  • An A- graded category for a category A is a category C together with a functor F : C → A.
    • A differential graded category or ' DG category' is a category whose morphism sets form differential graded Z-modules.
  • Graded manifold – extension of the manifold concept based on ideas coming from supersymmetry and supercommutative algebra, including sections on
    • Graded function
    • Graded vector fields
    • Graded exterior forms
    • Graded differential geometry
    • Graded differential calculus

In other areas of mathematics:

  • Functionally graded elements are used in finite element analysis.
  • A graded poset is a poset P with a rank function ρ: P → N compatible with the ordering (i.e. $\rho(x) < \rho(x) \implies x < y$) such that y covers $x \implies \rho(y)=\rho(x)+1$ .
