An Algebro-geometric Construction of Lower Central Series of Associative Algebras
The lower central series invariants M_k of an associative algebra A are the two-sided ideals generated by k-fold iterated commutators; the M_k provide a filtration of A. We study the relationship between the geometry of X = Spec A_ab and the associated graded components N_k of this filtration. We show …
