Independence of characteristic support from a good module filtration

ID: independence-of-characteristic-support-from-a-good-module-filtration

Fix the Bernstein filtration on the Weyl algebra. Two good filtrations of a module are bounded shifts of one another: and conversely. If an operator of degree has symbol annihilating , its th power lowers the expected filtration degree by . For , comparison of filtrations forces the same power of its symbol to annihilate . Reversing the roles gives equality of the radical annihilator ideals and hence equality of support of a module. The algebra filtration is held fixed; changing between order and Bernstein filtrations need not preserve the same variety.
