Modules and operator rings of Reynolds algebras
Abstract
We develop a module theory for weighted Reynolds algebras by constructing an associa?tive ring that records the algebra action and the module operator. The categories of left and right Reynolds modules are equivalent to the corresponding module categories over this ring, and their tensor products agree under these equivalences. We construct free Reynolds modules and give an explicit graded description of the operator ring for idempotent classical Reynolds operators fixing the identity. When the Reynolds operator on the algebra is bijective, modules with bijective module operators correspond to differential modules satisfying an invertibility condition. The operator ring transfers the Hom-tensor adjunction, Morita theory and derived functors to Reynolds modules. Explicit computations over a field show that the identity operator gives an operator ring of global dimension one, whereas the zero operator gives one of infinite global dimension.
