Algebra homomorphism

Let 𝐴 and 𝐡 be 𝑅-algebras An algebra homomorphism 𝑓 :𝐴 →𝐡 is a 𝑅-linear map which preserves the bilinear product, falg i.e. for π‘₯,𝑦 ∈𝐴 and πœ†,πœ‡ βˆˆπ‘…

  1. 𝑓(πœ†π‘₯ +πœ‡π‘¦) =πœ†π‘“(π‘₯) +πœ‡π‘“(𝑦)
  2. 𝑓(π‘₯𝑦) =𝑓(π‘₯)𝑓(𝑦)

a unital algebra homomorphism is one which additionally has

  1. 𝑓(1𝐴) =1𝐡
