Bracket algebra
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Bracket ring. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2015. |
In mathematics, a bracket algebra is an algebraic system that connects the notion of a supersymmetry algebra with a symbolic representation of projective invariants.
Given that L is a proper signed alphabet and Super[L] is the supersymmetric algebra, the bracket algebra Bracket[L] of dimension n over the field K is the quotient of the algebra Brace{L} obtained by imposing the congruence relations below, where w, w', ..., w" are any monomials in Super[L]:
- {w} = 0 if length(w) ≠ n
- {w}{w'}...{w"} = 0 whenever any positive letter a of L occurs more than n times in the monomial {w}{w'}...{w"}.
- Let {w}{w'}...{w"} be a monomial in Brace{L} in which some positive letter a occurs more than n times, and let b, c, d, e, ..., f, g be any letters in L.
