Associated graded module ($\mathrm{gr}M$)

For an increasing filtration of a module $M_n$ compatible with a filtered algebra $A$, set $\mathrm{gr}M={⨁}_n{M}_n/M_{n-1}$. Multiplication on the quotients makes it a graded module over $\mathrm{gr}A$. Its cumulative homogeneous dimensions equal $\dim M_n$ for a finite-dimensional exhaustive nonnegative filtration of a module.
