Modules over Noncommutative Rings: Left, Right and Bimodules

Q: Is every left module also a right module in some natural way?

Only over R^op. There is no natural right R-structure on a left R-module unless extra data is supplied, and supplying it is exactly what a bimodule structure does. For commutative R the two coincide because R = R^op.

Q: If a ring is left noetherian, is it right noetherian?

No. The triangular ring built from Q ⊆ R in the worked example is left noetherian and left artinian and neither on the right. The two conditions are logically independent, which is why every theorem in this collection names its side.

Q: What is the relationship between finitely generated and noetherian?

A module is noetherian exactly when *every* submodule is finitely generated, which is strictly stronger than the module itself being finitely generated. Over a left noetherian ring the two coincide for finitely generated modules, by (1.21); over a general ring they do not.

Q: Why is the annihilator of a module two-sided when submodules are one-sided?

Let r ∈ ann(M) and s ∈ R. Then (sr)M = s(rM) = 0, so sr ∈ ann(M); and (rs)M = r(sM) ⊆ rM = 0, using that sM ⊆ M. The second computation is where the module axioms do the work, and it is the reason the Jacobson radical is an ideal.

Q: Do bimodules need the two rings to be different?

No — (R,R)-bimodules are a rich and important class. The (R,R)-bimodule endomorphisms of R itself are exactly multiplication by central elements, so End(_R R_R) ≅ Z(R), and Hochschild cohomology is built entirely from (R,R)-bimodules.

Executive Summary

Every structure theorem in this collection is really a statement about modules. Wedderburn–Artin classifies rings all of whose modules are semisimple; the Jacobson radical is defined by its action on simple modules; density theorems describe a ring by how it sits inside the endomorphism ring of a module.

The one structural surprise is that side matters. A left $R$ -module is not a right $R$ -module; it is a right $R^{op}$ -module. Consequently $End (R_{R}) ≅ R$ but $End (_{R} R) ≅ R^{op}$ , and left and right chain conditions on a ring are logically independent.

Overview

Let $R$ be a ring. A **left $R$ -module** is an abelian group $M$ together with a biadditive map $R \times M \to M$ satisfying $r (s m) = (r s) m$ and $1 \cdot m = m$ . Equivalently, it is a ring homomorphism $R \to {End}_{ℤ} (M)$ — a representation of $R$ by additive endomorphisms.

A **right $R$ -module** is the same data with the scalars written on the other side and the rule $(m s) r = m (s r)$ . Written as a homomorphism, a right module is an anti-homomorphism $R \to {End}_{ℤ} (M)$ , which is exactly a homomorphism $R^{op} \to {End}_{ℤ} (M)$ .

That last clause is the whole difficulty. If $R not ≅ R^{op}$ , the twin theorem is a statement about another ring, and there is no reason for $R$ itself to satisfy it. The machinery is developed in The Opposite Ring and Left–Right Duality; the module-theoretic consequences are catalogued here.

Bimodules resolve part of the tension. An $(R, S)$ -bimodule carries a left $R$ -action and a right $S$ -action that associate with each other, and it is exactly the data needed to move modules between $R$ and $S$ by tensoring. Triangular rings — the workhorse counterexample machine of §1 — are built from a single bimodule.

Definitions

Definition§1Bimodule

Let $R$ and $S$ be rings. An ** $(R, S)$ -bimodule** is an abelian group $M$ that is a left $R$ -module and a right $S$ -module such that

(r m) s = r (m s) for all r \in R, m \in M, s \in S .

(1.14a)

Equivalently, $M$ is a left module over $R \otimes_{ℤ} S^{op}$ . Every ring $R$ is an $(R, R)$ -bimodule over itself, and every left $R$ -module is an $(R, ℤ)$ -bimodule.

$_{R} M$ and $M_{R}$: Subscript notation recording the side: $_{R} M$ is a left module, $M_{R}$ a right module, $_{R} M_{S}$ an $(R, S)$ -bimodule.
Unital: $1 \cdot m = m$ for all $m$ . Assumed throughout; without it $M$ splits as a unital part plus a part killed by $1$ .
Submodule: An additive subgroup closed under the module action from the relevant side.
${Hom}_{R} (M, N)$: The abelian group of $R$ -module homomorphisms; a ring when $M = N$ , and an $S$ -module when $M$ or $N$ carries an extra $S$ -action.
Finitely generated: $M = R m_{1} + \dots + R m_{n}$ for finitely many $m_{i}$ ; equivalently $M$ is a quotient of $R^{n}$ .
Simple module: A nonzero module with no submodules other than $0$ and itself.
Faithful module: A module whose annihilator $ann (M) = {r : r M = 0}$ is zero.

Homomorphisms of left modules are written on the left in this collection. That choice is what produces the opposite ring in the endomorphism computation below; writing them on the right removes it, at the cost of unfamiliar notation.

Core Concepts

Why the side is not a matter of taste

In a commutative ring the axioms $r (s m) = (r s) m$ and $(m s) r = m (s r)$ define the same objects, because $r s = s r$ . Noncommutatively they do not. Given a left action, defining $m \cdot r : = r m$ produces $(m \cdot r) \cdot s = s (r m) = (s r) m = m \cdot (s r)$ , which is the right-module axiom for $R^{op}$ , not for $R$ .

Endomorphism rings and where the opposite appears

Take $R$ as a module over itself. Every endomorphism of $R_{R}$ is left multiplication by a fixed element, and left multiplications compose in the same order as they multiply. Every endomorphism of $_{R} R$ is right multiplication by a fixed element, and right multiplications compose in the reverse order. That single asymmetry is the source of the $R^{op}$ in half the formulas of the subject.

Chain conditions live on modules, not on rings

A ring is called left noetherian when it is noetherian as a left module over itself, and left artinian when it is artinian as a left module over itself. Two facts are worth separating. On modules, artinian and noetherian are independent: the Prüfer group $ℤ (p^{\infty})$ is an artinian non-noetherian $ℤ$ -module, and $ℤ$ itself is noetherian and not artinian. On rings, left artinian implies left noetherian — the Hopkins–Levitzki theorem — but that is a deep result proved later using the radical, and it must not be assumed here.

Key Results

Theorem(1.12)The regular representation is an isomorphism

Let $R$ be a ring and regard $R$ as a right module over itself. For $r \in R$ let $L (r) : R \to R$ be left multiplication, $L (r) (a) = r a$ . Then $L$ is a ring isomorphism

L : R \tilde{⟶} End (R_{R}) .

(1.12)

Proof

First, $L (r)$ is a homomorphism of right $R$ -modules: $L (r) (a b) = r (a b) = (r a) b = (L (r) (a)) b$ , using only associativity.

$L$ is additive, and it is multiplicative because $L (r s) (a) = (r s) a = r (s a) = L (r) (L (s) (a))$ , so $L (r s) = L (r) \circ L (s)$ . It sends $1$ to the identity map.

$L$ is injective: if $L (r) = 0$ then $r = r \cdot 1 = L (r) (1) = 0$ . It is surjective: given $ϕ \in End (R_{R})$ , put $r = ϕ (1)$ ; then for every $a \in R$ , $ϕ (a) = ϕ (1 \cdot a) = ϕ (1) a = r a = L (r) (a)$ , so $ϕ = L (r)$ . Both uses of the module axioms need $R$ to have an identity.

Corollary(1.12)The left-handed version

With endomorphisms of left modules written on the left, $End (_{R} R) ≅ R^{op}$ . Explicitly, every $ϕ \in End (_{R} R)$ is right multiplication $ρ_{a}$ by $a = ϕ (1)$ , and $ρ_{a} \circ ρ_{b} = ρ_{b a}$ .

Proof

For $ϕ$ additive and $R$ -linear on the left, $ϕ (r) = ϕ (r \cdot 1) = r ϕ (1) = r a$ , so $ϕ = ρ_{a}$ with $a = ϕ (1)$ . Then $(ρ_{a} \circ ρ_{b}) (r) = ρ_{a} (r b) = r b a = ρ_{b a} (r)$ . Hence $a \mapsto ρ_{a}$ reverses products, i.e. it is a ring isomorphism $R^{op} \to End (_{R} R)$ . Injectivity and surjectivity are as before.

Proposition(1.20)Chain conditions pass to and from submodules

Let $R$ be a ring, $M$ a left $R$ -module and $N \subseteq M$ a submodule. Then $M$ is noetherian if and only if both $N$ and $M / N$ are noetherian. The same equivalence holds with artinian throughout. In particular a finite direct sum of noetherian (resp. artinian) modules is noetherian (resp. artinian).

Proof

Suppose $M$ is noetherian. Submodules of $N$ are submodules of $M$ , so ACC is inherited. Submodules of $M / N$ correspond bijectively and inclusion-preservingly to submodules of $M$ containing $N$ , so ACC is inherited there too.

Conversely assume $N$ and $M / N$ are noetherian and let $M_{1} \subseteq M_{2} \subseteq \dots$ be an ascending chain in $M$ . The chains $M_{i} \cap N$ in $N$ and $(M_{i} + N) / N$ in $M / N$ both stabilise; choose $n$ beyond which both are constant. Fix $i \geq n$ and take $x \in M_{i + 1}$ . Since $(M_{i + 1} + N) / N = (M_{i} + N) / N$ , we may write $x = m + y$ with $m \in M_{i}$ and $y \in N$ . Then $y = x - m \in M_{i + 1} \cap N = M_{i} \cap N \subseteq M_{i}$ , so $x \in M_{i}$ . Hence $M_{i + 1} = M_{i}$ and the chain stabilises. Reversing all inclusions gives the artinian case verbatim.

For the direct sum, apply the equivalence to $N = M_{1} \subseteq M_{1} \oplus M_{2}$ with quotient $M_{2}$ , and induct.

Corollary(1.21)Finitely generated modules inherit chain conditions

If $R$ is left noetherian (resp. left artinian) and $M$ is a finitely generated left $R$ -module, then $M$ is a noetherian (resp. artinian) module.

Proof

Write $M$ as a quotient of $R^{n}$ for some $n$ . By hypothesis $_{R} R$ has the chain condition, so $R^{n}$ does by the direct-sum case of $(1.20)$ , and a quotient of a module with the chain condition has it as well.

PropositionEx. 1.20Endomorphisms of a direct power

Let $M$ be a right $R$ -module, $E = {End}_{R} (M)$ with endomorphisms written on the left, and $M^{n}$ the direct sum of $n$ copies of $M$ . Then ${End}_{R} (M^{n}) ≅ M_{n} (E)$ , the ring of $n \times n$ matrices over $E$ . Taking $M = R_{R}$ and using $(1.12)$ gives $End (R_{R}^{n}) ≅ M_{n} (R)$ .

Remark—Annihilators and faithfulness

For a left module $M$ , the annihilator $ann (M) = {r \in R : r M = 0}$ is a two-sided ideal — it is a left ideal because $M$ is a module and a right ideal because $r (s M) \subseteq r M$ . This is why the Jacobson radical, defined as an intersection of annihilators of simple modules, is two-sided even though maximal left ideals are not.

Proof Techniques and Method

How these proofs work, and which move to reuse.

Move 1

Evaluate at $1$

Any homomorphism out of the free module of rank one is determined by the image of the generator. This one line proves both endomorphism-ring theorems and is the standard start for any $Hom$ computation.

Move 2

Sandwich a chain

To prove a chain in $M$ stabilises, project it into $M / N$ and intersect it with $N$ . Both projected chains stabilise; a short diagram chase recovers stabilisation upstairs. This is the engine of all chain-condition transfer.

Move 3

Reduce to $R^{n}$

Every finitely generated module is a quotient of a free module of finite rank, so any property closed under finite direct sums and quotients propagates from $_{R} R$ to all finitely generated modules.

Move 2 is worth internalising in the form used above: the pair (intersection with $N$ , image in $M / N$ ) determines a submodule of $M$ only when combined with a modular-law argument, which is exactly the step $y = x - m \in M_{i + 1} \cap N$ . Omitting it is the classic gap in student proofs of $(1.20)$ .

Worked Example

A ring that is left artinian and not right noetherian

Let $S = ℚ \subseteq ℝ = T$ , so $\dim_{S} T = \infty$ , and take $M = ℝ$ as a $(T, S)$ -bimodule — left $ℝ$ -multiplication, right $ℚ$ -multiplication. Form the triangular ring

A = (\begin{matrix} ℝ & ℝ \\ 0 & ℚ \end{matrix}) = {(\begin{matrix} t & m \\ 0 & s \end{matrix}) : t, m \in ℝ, s \in ℚ} .

(E.1)

As a left module over itself, $A$ has the chain

0 ⊊ (\begin{matrix} 0 & ℝ \\ 0 & 0 \end{matrix}) ⊊ (\begin{matrix} 0 & ℝ \\ 0 & ℚ \end{matrix}) ⊊ A,

(E.2)

all three terms are left ideals; the successive quotients are computed below.

$(\begin{matrix} 0 & ℝ \\ 0 & 0 \end{matrix})$ : the action of $(\begin{matrix} t & m' \\ 0 & s \end{matrix})$ on $(\begin{matrix} 0 & m \\ 0 & 0 \end{matrix})$ gives $(\begin{matrix} 0 & t m \\ 0 & 0 \end{matrix})$ , so the module is $ℝ$ with $ℝ$ acting by multiplication — simple.
The middle quotient is $ℚ$ with $A$ acting through the corner $s \in ℚ$ — simple.
The top quotient $A / (\begin{matrix} 0 & ℝ \\ 0 & ℚ \end{matrix})$ is $ℝ$ with $A$ acting through $t \in ℝ$ — simple.

So $(E . 2)$ is a composition series of length $3$ , and by the equivalence *noetherian and artinian $iff$ finite composition series* the ring $A$ is both left noetherian and left artinian.

The other side collapses

As a right module, the relevant structure on $M = ℝ$ is that of a $ℚ$ -vector space, and $\dim_{ℚ} ℝ$ is infinite. Choose $ℚ$ -subspaces $V_{1} ⊊ V_{2} ⊊ \dots$ of $ℝ$ of dimensions $1, 2, 3, \dots$ ; the sets $(\begin{matrix} 0 & V_{i} \\ 0 & 0 \end{matrix})$ form a strictly ascending chain of right ideals of $A$ . Dually, an infinite descending chain of $ℚ$ -subspaces gives a strictly descending chain of right ideals.

Replacing $(ℝ, ℚ)$ by $(ℚ, ℤ)$ gives $A = (\begin{matrix} ℚ & ℚ \\ 0 & ℤ \end{matrix})$ , which is left noetherian, not right noetherian, and neither left nor right artinian — because $ℤ$ has the infinite descending chain $(2) ⊋ (4) ⊋ (8) ⊋ \dots$ .

Design Considerations

Design considerations here means the choices made when modelling a problem with these algebraic structures.

Pick a side and keep it. Mixing left modules with right ideals in one argument is the commonest source of sign-of-composition errors. If both are needed, name the second one as a module over $R^{op}$ .
Decide where homomorphisms are written. Writing endomorphisms of left modules on the right makes $End (_{R} R) ≅ R$ instead of $R^{op}$ . Bourbaki and parts of the module-theory literature do this; most ring theory texts, including Lam, do not.
Use bimodules when two rings are in play. A change of rings, an induction functor or a Morita context is bimodule data. Trying to encode it with one-sided modules forces artificial opposite rings into the notation.
Choose finitely generated over finitely presented deliberately. Over a non-noetherian ring these differ, and most computational algorithms silently assume the noetherian case.
Do not import artinian implies noetherian for modules. It is true for rings and false for modules; the Prüfer group is the standing counterexample.

Computational Notes

Computational notes cover algorithms, cost and library behaviour rather than manufacturing process.

For modules given by explicit matrices over a field, the basic questions are linear algebra.

Endomorphism rings. If $A$ is generated by $g_{1}, \dots, g_{r}$ and $M$ has $k$ -dimension $d$ , then ${End}_{A} (M)$ is the space of $d \times d$ matrices commuting with the $r$ action matrices — the nullspace of an $r d^{2} \times d^{2}$ linear system, so $O (r d^{6})$ field operations by direct elimination.
Irreducibility testing. The Meataxe of R. Parker, refined by Holt and Rees, decides whether a module over a finite field is simple and returns a proper submodule otherwise; it is the standard engine in GAP and Magma and is fast in practice, though not polynomial in the worst case.
Finitely generated modules over a PID. Smith normal form gives the invariant-factor decomposition; over $ℤ$ the practical cost is dominated by coefficient growth, controlled by modular methods.
Submodule lattices. Over a noetherian ring, Gröbner-basis methods for modules over $k [x_{1}, \dots, x_{n}]$ compute syzygies and intersections; the noncommutative analogue needs a term order compatible with the multiplication and terminates only for solvable-type algebras.

Failure Modes and Common Mistakes

Do not assume a submodule of a finitely generated module is finitely generated. It is true over noetherian rings and false in general — a non-finitely-generated ideal of a non-noetherian commutative ring is already a counterexample.
Do not conflate simple module with simple ring. $M_{n} (D)$ is a simple ring, and its simple modules are the columns $D^{n}$ , which are not the ring.
Do not assume ${Hom}_{R} (M, N)$ is an $R$ -module. Over a noncommutative $R$ it is only an abelian group unless a second action is present; it is a $Z (R)$ -module in general.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the opposite ring appear in

End (_{R} R)

but not in

End (R_{R})

Because homomorphisms are written on the same side as the scalars. An endomorphism of $_{R} R$ must be right multiplication, and right multiplications compose in reverse order: $ρ_{a} \circ ρ_{b} = ρ_{b a}$ . An endomorphism of $R_{R}$ is left multiplication, and those compose in the same order. Writing maps on the side opposite to the scalars — an old and defensible convention — removes the $R^{op}$ entirely.

Is every left module also a right module in some natural way?

Only over $R^{op}$ . There is no natural right $R$ -structure on a left $R$ -module unless extra data is supplied, and supplying it is exactly what a bimodule structure does. For commutative $R$ the two coincide because $R = R^{op}$ .

If a ring is left noetherian, is it right noetherian?

No. The triangular ring built from $ℚ \subseteq ℝ$ in the worked example is left noetherian and left artinian and neither on the right. The two conditions are logically independent, which is why every theorem in this collection names its side.

What is the relationship between finitely generated and noetherian?

A module is noetherian exactly when every submodule is finitely generated, which is strictly stronger than the module itself being finitely generated. Over a left noetherian ring the two coincide for finitely generated modules, by $(1.21)$ ; over a general ring they do not.

Why is the annihilator of a module two-sided when submodules are one-sided?

Let $r \in ann (M)$ and $s \in R$ . Then $(s r) M = s (r M) = 0$ , so $s r \in ann (M)$ ; and $(r s) M = r (s M) \subseteq r M = 0$ , using that $s M \subseteq M$ . The second computation is where the module axioms do the work, and it is the reason the Jacobson radical is an ideal.

Do bimodules need the two rings to be different?

No — $(R, R)$ -bimodules are a rich and important class. The $(R, R)$ -bimodule endomorphisms of $R$ itself are exactly multiplication by central elements, so $End (_{R} R_{R}) ≅ Z (R)$ , and Hochschild cohomology is built entirely from $(R, R)$ -bimodules.
