The module I ⧸ I ^ 2 #
In this file, we provide special API support for the module I ⧸ I ^ 2. The official
definition is a quotient module of I, but the alternative definition as an ideal of R ⧸ I ^ 2 is
also given, and the two are R-equivalent as in Ideal.cotangentEquivIdeal.
Additional support is also given to the cotangent space m ⧸ m ^ 2 of a local ring.
The equivalence of the two definitions of I / I ^ 2, either as the quotient of I or the
ideal of R / I ^ 2.
Instances For
Lift a linear map f : I →ₗ[R] M that vanishes on products to a linear map on the
cotangent space I ⧸ I ^ 2.
Instances For
The A ⧸ I-vector space I ⧸ I ^ 2.
Instances For
In a local ring with its maximal ideal finitely generated, the dimension of the cotangent space is equal to the span rank of the maximal ideal.
In a Noetherian local ring, the dimension of the cotangent space is equal to the span rank of the maximal ideal.
