Main definitions

• Module.compHom: compose a Module with a RingHom, with action f s • m.
• RingHom.toModule: a RingHom defines a module structure by r • x = f r * x.

Push forward the action of R on M along a compatible surjective map f : R →+* S.

Compose a Module with a RingHom, with action f s • m.

See note [reducible non-instances].

abbrev RingHom.toModule {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [Semiring R] [Semiring S] (f : R →+* S) : Module R S

A ring homomorphism f : R →+* M defines a module structure by r • x = f r * x. See note [reducible non-instances].

def RingHom.smulOneHom {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [Semiring R] [NonAssocSemiring S] [Module R S] [IsScalarTower R S S] : R →+* S

If the module action of R on S is compatible with multiplication on S, then fun x ↦ x • 1 is a ring homomorphism from R to S.

This is the RingHom version of MonoidHom.smulOneHom.

When R is commutative, usually algebraMap should be preferred.

def ringHomEquivModuleIsScalarTower {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [Semiring R] [Semiring S] : (R →+* S) ≃ { _inst : Module R S // IsScalarTower R S S }

A homomorphism between semirings R and S can be equivalently specified by a R-module structure on S such that S/S/R is a scalar tower.
