Regular module
The regular left module of a ring is the the left
-module
whose underlying group is the additive group
, with multiplication
given by left multiplication from
. The right regular module is defined
similarly. The left regular
-module is sometimes denoted
, and the right regular
-module is sometimes denoted
.
If
is a commutative ring, then the two structures are the same
structure, called simply the regular
-module.
