Definition:N-Graded Ring

Definition

Let $\N$ be the set of natural numbers.

An $\N$-graded ring or positively $\Z$-graded ring is a graded ring of type the additive monoid of natural numbers.

That is, it is a pair $\struct {R, f}$ where:

$R$ is a ring

$f$ is a sequence $\sequence {R_n}_{n \mathop \in \N}$ of subgroups of the additive group of $R$, of which it is the internal direct sum, and such that:

$\forall x \in R_n, y \in R_m: x y \in R_{m + n}$
