Definition
Let [ilmath](R,*,+,0)[/ilmath] be a ring (with or without unity) and let [ilmath]M[/ilmath] a (left) [ilmath]R[/ilmath]-module. Let [ilmath]A\subseteq M[/ilmath] be a submodule of [ilmath]M[/ilmath]. Then[1]:
- The quotient group [ilmath]\frac{M}{A} [/ilmath] is actually a (left) module too with the operations:
- (ADDITION) - given by the quotient group part
- [ilmath]+:\frac{M}{A}\times\frac{M}{A}\rightarrow\frac{M}{A} [/ilmath] by [ilmath]+:([x],[y])\mapsto [x+y][/ilmath]
- Multiplication/module action: [ilmath]\cdot:R\times\frac{M}{A}\rightarrow\frac{M}{A} [/ilmath] by [ilmath]\cdot:(r,[x])\mapsto [rx][/ilmath]
- (ADDITION) - given by the quotient group part
Furthermore, if [ilmath]M[/ilmath] is a unital module then so is [ilmath]\frac{M}{A} [/ilmath]
With this we get a canonical projection, [ilmath]\pi:M\rightarrow\frac{M}{A} [/ilmath] that is a module homomorphism:
- [ilmath]\pi:x\mapsto [x][/ilmath]
and the kernel is [ilmath]A[/ilmath].
