Extract

For i = 1,…, n let ai be a homogeneous polynomial of degree ri(>0) in the graded polynomial ring R[x1, …, xm], or R[x] for short, where R is a commutative ring with unity and x1, …, xm are indeterminates of degree 1. Let of degree - 1 be a formal inverse of xj and let U denote the graded R[x]-module In [2, §2] we introduced a graded complex of r-modules.
