For ungraded quotients of an arbitrary ℤ-graded ring, we define the general PBW property, that covers the classical PBW property and the N-type PBW property studied via the N-Koszulity by several authors (see [2–4]). In view of the noncommutative Gröbner basis theory, we conclude that every ungraded quotient of a path algebra (or a free algebra) has the general PBW property. We remark that an earlier result of Golod [5] concerning Gröbner bases can be used to give a homological characterization of the general PBW property in terms of Shafarevich complex. Examples of application are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We determine all inhomogeneous Yang–Mills algebras and super Yang–Mills algebras which are Koszul. Following a recent proposal, a non-homogeneous algebra is said to be Koszul if the homogeneous part is Koszul and if the PBW property holds. In this letter, the homogeneous parts are the Yang–Mills algebra and the super Yang–Mills algebra. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
