Dimension of a Weyl algebra module for the order filtration

ID: dimension-of-a-weyl-algebra-module-for-the-order-filtration

For a nonzero finitely generated module over a complex Weyl algebra, choose a good filtration for the order filtration and take the Krull dimension of its support of a module over . This is the dimension of its order characteristic variety of a Weyl algebra module. One may set .
For independence from the good module filtration, any two such filtrations of a module are bounded shifts of one another, by their finite shifted-generating descriptions. If a homogeneous symbol of degree annihilates one associated graded module, then and its -th power lowers the expected degree by . For shift bound and , comparison shows that annihilates the other associated graded module. Reverse the roles to obtain equality of the radicals of ideals of their annihilators, hence equality of their support of a module and Krull dimension. This argument holds the algebra filtration fixed.
