An algebra over a field (ring) which is a differential ring and such that, moreover, any derivation commutes with multiplications by elements of , i.e. , where , .


Comments

Cf. also Derivation in a ring. A differential graded algebra (or DGA) over a ring is a graded algebra equipped with a graded -module homomorphism of degree such that and such that is a derivation in the graded sense, i.e. such that . They are of importance in (co)homology theory.
