Today I’ll continue the series on graded rings and filtrations by discussing the resulting topologies and the Artin-Rees lemma.
All filtrations henceforth are descending.
Topologies
Recall that a topological group is a topological space with a group structure in which the group operations of composition and inversion are continuous—in other words, a group object in the category of topological spaces. (more…)

Bourbaki has a whole chapter in Commutative Algebra devoted to “graduations, filtrations, and topologies,” which indicates the importance of these concepts. That’s the theme for the next few posts I’ll do here, although I will (of course) be more concise.
In general, all rings will be commutative.
Gradings
The idea of a graded ring is necessary to define projective space.
Definition 1 A graded ring is ring
together with a decomposition
such that
. The set
is said to consist of homogeneous elements of degree
