A basis for SymmetricAlgebra R M

Main definitions

• SymmetricAlgebra.equivMvPolynomial b : SymmetricAlgebra R M ≃ₐ[R] MvPolynomial I R: the isomorphism given by a basis b : Basis I R M.
• Basis.symmetricAlgebra b : Basis (I →₀ ℕ) R (SymmetricAlgebra R M): the basis on the symmetric algebra given by a basis b : Basis I R M.

Main results

• SymmetricAlgebra.instFreeModule: the symmetric algebra over M is free when M is free.
• SymmetricAlgebra.rank_eq: the rank of SymmetricAlgebra R M when M is a nontrivial free module is equal to max (Module.rank R M) Cardinal.aleph0.

noncomputable def SymmetricAlgebra.equivMvPolynomial {κ : Type uκ} {R : Type uR} {M : Type uM} [CommSemiring R] [AddCommMonoid M] [Module R M] (b : Module.Basis κ R M) : SymmetricAlgebra R M ≃ₐ[R] MvPolynomial κ R

SymmetricAlgebra.equivMvPolynomial gives an algebra isomorphism between the symmetric algebra over a free module and multivariate polynomials over a basis. This is analogous to TensorAlgebra.equivFreeAlgebra.
