Perspectives on Amenability and Congeniality of Bases

We provide topological interpretations of amenability and congeniality of bases of an infinite dimensional algebra A; in fact, we also extend these notions to bases over infinite dimensional A-modules. A basis B over an A-module T is called amenable if F^B, the direct product indexed by B of copies of the field F, can be made into an A-module in a natural way. (Mutual) congeniality is a relation that serves to identify cases when different amenable bases yield isomorphic A-modules. (Not necessarily mutual) congeniality between amenable bases yields an epimorphism of the modules they induce; we prove that this epimorphism is one-to-one only if the congeniality is mutual. Not all bases that fail to be amenable do so the same way, we introduce means to measure how amenable a basis is. For a basis B this measure, its domain of amenability, turns out to be a subalgebra of A. The collection of all such domains of amenability of bases is called the profile of T . We explore possible profiles of modules and show an example of a module that has as small a profile as possible. We extend the recently obtained result that there exist magma algebras that have neither simple nor projective bases to show that, in fact, no magma algebra has any projective bases.
