graded algebra

(Definition)

An algebra over a graded ring is graded if it is itself a graded ring and a graded module over such that

$\displaystyle A^p \cdot A^q \subseteq A^{p+q}$

where

, $i \in \mathbb{N}$ , are submodules of

. More generally, one can replace $\mathbb{N}$ by a monoid or semigroup

. In which case,

is called a

-graded algebra. A graded algebra then is the same thing as an $\mathbb{N}$ -graded algebra.

Examples of graded algebras include the polynomial ring being an $\mathbb{N}$ -graded -algebra, and the exterior algebra.
