Definition

A quadratic algebra $A$ is a filtered algebra whose generator consists of degree $1$ elements, with defining relations of degree $2$.

This page or section has statements made on it that ought to be extracted and proved in a Theorem page. In particular: The following appears to be a result You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by creating any appropriate Theorem pages that may be needed. To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page.

A quadratic algebra $A$ is determined by a vector space of generators $V = A_1$ and a subspace of homogeneous quadratic relations $S \subseteq V \otimes V$.

Thus:

$A = \map T V / \gen S$

and inherits its grading from the tensor algebra $\map T V$.

In particular: The following is a different beast and hence needs a separate page Until this has been finished, please leave {{Refactor}} in the code. New contributors: Refactoring is a task which is expected to be undertaken by experienced editors only. Because of the underlying complexity of the work needed, it is recommended that you do not embark on a refactoring task until you have become familiar with the structural nature of pages of $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.

If the subspace of relations may also contain inhomogeneous degree $2$ elements, $S \subseteq k \oplus V \oplus \paren {V \otimes V}$, this construction results in a filtered quadratic algebra.

A graded quadratic algebra $A$ as above admits a quadratic dual: the quadratic algebra generated by $V^*$ and with quadratic relations forming the orthogonal complement of $S$ in $V^* \otimes V^*$.
