Differential Graded Algebra - Examples of DGAs

Examples of DGAs

  • The Koszul complex is a DGA.
  • The Tensor algebra is a DGA with differential similar to that of the Koszul complex.
  • The Singular cohomology with coefficients in a ring is a DGA; the differential is given by the Bockstein homomorphism, and the product given by the cup product.
  • Differential forms on a manifold, together with the exterior derivation and the wedge-product form a DGA.

Famous quotes containing the words examples of and/or examples:

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
    André Breton (1896–1966)
