How to understand the notation $S(-3)$?












0












$begingroup$


I asked a question about linear maps between free modules. I have a related question.



Let $S=k[x_1, ldots, x_n]$ where $k$ is a field. Then $S$ is a graded ring with usual grading given by $deg x_i = 1$. By definition, $S(a)$ is a graded module defined by $S(a)_d = S_{a+d}$. What is the basis of $S(a)$? For example, what is the basis of $S(-3)$?



Thank you very much.

          The basis of $S(a)$ is formed by all monomials $x^i = x_1^{i_1}cdots x_n^{i_n}$, but the degree of $x^i$ is equal to $i_1 + dots + i_n - a$.

            This is a basis as a $k$-vector space, right? Because as an $S$-module, $S(a)$ has rank $1$.

            Sure. As an $S$-module the basis is given by one element (monomial 1) in degree $-a$.
