Towers of algebras #
In this file we prove basic facts about towers of algebra.
An algebra tower A/S/R is expressed by having instances of Algebra A S,
Algebra R S, Algebra R A and IsScalarTower R S A, the later asserting the
compatibility condition (r • s) • a = r • (s • a).
An important definition is toAlgHom R S A, the canonical R-algebra homomorphism S →ₐ[R] A.
The R-algebra morphism A → End (M) corresponding to the representation of the algebra A
on the B-module M.
This is a stronger version of DistribMulAction.toLinearMap, and could also have been
called Algebra.toModuleEnd.
The typeclasses correspond to the situation where the types act on each other as
R ----→ B
| ⟍ |
| ⟍ |
↓ ↘ ↓
A ----→ M
where the diagram commutes, the action by R commutes with everything, and the action by A and
B on M commute.
Typically this is most useful with B = R as Algebra.lsmul R R A : A →ₐ[R] Module.End R M.
However this can be used to get the fact that left-multiplication by A is right A-linear, and
vice versa, as
example : A →ₐ[R] Module.End Aᵐᵒᵖ A := Algebra.lsmul R Aᵐᵒᵖ A
example : Aᵐᵒᵖ →ₐ[R] Module.End A A := Algebra.lsmul R A A
respectively; though LinearMap.mulLeft and LinearMap.mulRight can also be used here.

See note [partially-applied ext lemmas].
In a tower, the canonical map from the middle element to the top element is an algebra homomorphism over the bottom element.

If A is an R-algebra such that the induced morphism R →+* A is surjective, then the
R-module generated by a set X equals the A-module generated by X.
