Duality on the symmetric algebra












2














If we have a commutative ring $A$, and a module over $A$, $M$, is it true that :
$$rm{S}^{bullet}_{A}(M^{ast})simeqrm{S}^{bullet}_{A}(M)^{ast}?$$

  • What sort of dual are you taking on the outside? If you just take the dual "naively", then this will fail with any finite dimensional vector space.

  • I´m taking the naive dual, i.e, $rm{Hom}_{A}(M,A)$. Why does this construction fail?

  • Because one side will have countable dimension while the other will have uncountable dimension.

  • That´s totally true, I see now... thank you Tobias.

    Note that this does have an easy fix, which is to take the graded dual instead. Then at least I think you should get an isomorphism when $A$ is a field and $M$ is finite dimensional.
