One situation where we can recover many of the standard results that hold for vector. For example, every rmodule m is automatically a zmodule. For the sake of brevity, we will often write module instead of left module. The action of z on a determined by this mapping is. Every abelian group is a z module in a unique way, and every homomorphism of abelian groups is a zmodule homomorphism in a unique way. A function from one ring rto another sis a ring homomorphism i it respects the ring. If ris a division ring, then a unitary rmodule is called a left vector space. It is easy to verify that this gives the desired amodule homomorphism.
Linear algebradefinition of homomorphism wikibooks, open. Second observe that there is a unique ring homomorphism.

In the course of our study of quotient groups we have already seen that. Let us show that the quotient ring ri znz is isomorphic to z n as a ring. This is the familiar mapping that is used to determine the characteristic of the ring enda. It is trivial to check that it is a bijection and so induces an isomorphism between z, and. If srmsrmfor all rand sin r, then in particular the same is true for rand sin r r. A homomorphism from a group g to a group g is a mapping.

M n with componentwise addition and scalar multiplication is an rmodule again. Every additive abelian group g is a unitary zmodule with na, where n. Z is an z,zmodule homomorphism since for all r, s, a. Note that even though aand care the same modules in the example, z znz is not isomorphic to z, making the two exact sequences not equivalent.
An algebraic structure may have more than one operation, and a homomorphism is required to preserve each operation. To come from a zmodule to an abelian group simply forget the scalar. Note that here we are using our convention about exactness for the bottom row in the diagram. H is a group homomorphism, then f is also a z module homomorphism since. With this familiar multiplication, it is easy to check that a becomes a zmodule. The composition of module homomorphisms is again a module homomorphism, and the identity map on a module is a module homomorphism.

An algebra homomorphism is a map that preserves the algebra operations. Similarly, the dual of any nite zmodule any nite abelian group is the zero module, as is the double dual. The derived module of a homomorphism sciencedirect. However, 0 a p q ap q implies that ap 0 and so, since z is an integral domain, that p is zero.
