Matrix algebra over a ring

Matrix over a module

Let 𝑉 be a (left) 𝑅-module. The matrix space Mπ‘š,𝑛⁑(𝑉) is the (left) 𝑅-module module

Mπ‘š,𝑛⁑(𝑉)=π‘šβ¨π‘–=1𝑛⨁𝑗=1𝑉

consisting of π‘š ×𝑛 rectangular arrays and acted on the matrix algebra Mβˆ™,π‘šβ‘(𝑅) so that for 𝐡 =(𝑏𝑖𝑗)π‘š,𝑛𝑖=1,𝑗=1 ∈Mπ‘š,𝑛⁑(𝑉) and 𝐴 =(π‘Žπ‘–π‘—)β„“,π‘šπ‘–=1,𝑗=1 ∈Mπ‘š,π‘œπ‘π‘›π‘€π‘™β‘(𝑅) we have 𝐢 =𝐴𝐡 =(𝑐𝑖𝑗)β„“,𝑛𝑖=1,𝑗=1

𝑐𝑖𝑗=π‘šβˆ‘π‘˜=1π‘Žπ‘–π‘˜π‘π‘˜π‘—

In particular, Mπ‘š,𝑛⁑(𝑉) is a (left) Mπ‘š,π‘šβ‘(𝑅) module.
