Bimodules

One frequently encounters situations in which several sets of scalars act on a single space, subject to compatibility condition(s). A distinguished instance of this is the theory of bimodules: one has two rings R, S acting on an additive group M, with R acting covariantly ("on the left") and S acting contravariantly ("on the right"). The compatibility condition is just: (r • m) • s = r • (m • s) for all r : R, s : S, m : M.

This situation can be set up in Mathlib as:

variables (R S M : Type*) [Ring R] [Ring S]
variables [AddCommGroup M] [Module R M] [Module Sᵐᵒᵖ M] [SMulCommClass R Sᵐᵒᵖ M]

The key fact is:

example : Module (R ⊗[ℕ] Sᵐᵒᵖ) M := TensorProduct.Algebra.module

Note that the corresponding result holds for the canonically isomorphic ring R ⊗[ℤ] Sᵐᵒᵖ but it is preferable to use the R ⊗[ℕ] Sᵐᵒᵖ instance since it works without additive inverses.

Bimodules are thus just a special case of Modules and most of their properties follow from the theory of Modules. In particular a two-sided Submodule of a bimodule is simply a term of type Submodule (R ⊗[ℕ] Sᵐᵒᵖ) M.

This file is a place to collect results which are specific to bimodules.

Main definitions

• Subbimodule.mk
• Subbimodule.smul_mem
• Subbimodule.smul_mem'
• Subbimodule.toSubmodule
• Subbimodule.toSubmodule'

Implementation details

For many definitions and lemmas it is preferable to set things up without opposites, i.e., as: [Module S M] [SMulCommClass R S M] rather than [Module Sᵐᵒᵖ M] [SMulCommClass R Sᵐᵒᵖ M]. The corresponding results for opposites then follow automatically and do not require taking advantage of the fact that (Sᵐᵒᵖ)ᵐᵒᵖ is defeq to S.

TODO

Develop the theory of two-sided ideals, which have type Submodule (R ⊗[ℕ] Rᵐᵒᵖ) R.

A constructor for a subbimodule which demands closure under the two sets of scalars individually, rather than jointly via their tensor product.

Note that R plays no role but it is convenient to make this generalisation to support the cases R = ℕ and R = ℤ which both show up naturally. See also Subbimodule.baseChange.

If A and B are also Algebras over yet another set of scalars S then we may "base change" from R to S.
