Fitting lemma 1970-01-01
The Fitting lemma, often mentioned in the context of group theory and representation theory, primarily deals with nilpotent groups and their substructures. It provides insight into the relationship between normal subgroups and the structure of groups. Here’s a basic overview of the Fitting lemma: ### Fitting Lemma 1.
Flat cover 1970-01-01
The term "flat cover" can refer to a few different concepts depending on the context. Here are a couple of common meanings: 1. **Publishing and Graphic Design**: In the context of books, magazines, or other printed materials, a flat cover usually refers to a cover that is designed as a single flat piece, rather than having folds or layers. It can also mean that the cover does not have any additional features like embossing or die cuts and is printed uniformly on a single surface.
Free module 1970-01-01
In the context of algebra, particularly in module theory, a **free module** is a specific type of module that is analogous to a free vector space. More formally, a module \( M \) over a ring \( R \) is called a free module if it has a basis, which is a set of elements in \( M \) that are linearly independent and can generate the entire module.
Glossary of module theory 1970-01-01
Module theory is a branch of abstract algebra that studies modules, which generalize vector spaces by allowing scalars to come from a ring instead of a field. Here's a glossary of key terms commonly used in module theory: 1. **Module**: A generalization of vector spaces where the scalars come from a ring instead of a field. A module over a ring \( R \) consists of an additive abelian group along with a scalar multiplication operation that respects the ring's structure.
Indecomposable module 1970-01-01
In the context of module theory, a branch of abstract algebra, an indecomposable module is a module that cannot be expressed as a direct sum of two non-trivial submodules. More formally, a module \( M \) over a ring \( R \) is said to be indecomposable if whenever \( M \) can be written as a direct sum of two submodules \( A \) and \( B \) (i.e.
Injective hull 1970-01-01
The concept of an "injective hull" arises in the context of module theory, a branch of mathematics that studies algebraic structures known as modules, which generalize vector spaces. An **injective module** is a type of module that has the property that any homomorphism from a submodule into the injective module can be extended to the whole module.
Injective module 1970-01-01
In the context of module theory, an injective module is a specific type of module that has certain properties related to homomorphisms.
Invariant basis number 1970-01-01
The Invariant Basis Number (IBN) is a concept associated with the study of vector spaces and modules in abstract algebra, particularly in the context of infinite-dimensional vector spaces or modules over a ring. The invariant basis number of a vector space or a module refers to the property that, regardless of the choice of basis, the cardinality of the basis remains the same.
Jacobson density theorem 1970-01-01
The Jacobson density theorem is a result in functional analysis and algebra that concerns the structure of certain types of algebraic structures known as *algebras*. Specifically, it is often discussed in the context of *topological algebras*, which combine algebraic and topological properties.
Kaplansky's theorem on projective modules 1970-01-01
Kaplansky's theorem on projective modules, formulated by David Kaplansky, provides a significant result in the theory of modules over rings. The theorem states that any projective module over a ring is a direct summand of a free module if and only if the ring is a certain type of ring known as a "Baer ring.
Krull–Schmidt theorem 1970-01-01
The Krull-Schmidt theorem is a fundamental result in the theory of modules and abelian categories, particularly in the context of decomposition of modules. It provides conditions under which a module can be decomposed into a direct sum of indecomposable modules, and offers a uniqueness aspect to this decomposition.
Mitchell's embedding theorem 1970-01-01
Mitchell's embedding theorem is a result in set theory that pertains to the relationship between certain kinds of models of set theory. Specifically, it deals with the ability to embed a certain class of set-theoretic structures (often related to the constructible universe) into larger structures, while preserving certain properties.

Jozef Dravecký is a Slovak professional ice hockey player. He primarily plays as a forward and has been associated with various teams in the professional leagues, including the Slovak Extraliga and international leagues. Dravecký has also represented Slovakia in international competitions. His playing style is characterized by his agility and skill on the ice.

Morita equivalence 1970-01-01
Morita equivalence is a concept in category theory that describes when two categories are "essentially the same" from a categorical viewpoint. Specifically, two categories \( C \) and \( D \) are said to be Morita equivalent if they have equivalent categories of modules (or representations) in a way that preserves the structure of these categories. In more concrete terms, Morita equivalence can be understood in the context of ring theory.
N! conjecture 1970-01-01
The N! conjecture is a mathematical hypothesis related to combinatorial structures, particularly focusing on permutations and certain types of combinatorial objects. More specifically, the conjecture proposes that for any integer \( N \), there exists a link between the factorial of \( N \) (denoted as \( N! \)) and certain countable properties of permutations or combinations of \( N \) items. One of the well-known formulations of the N!
Projective module 1970-01-01
In the context of algebra, particularly in the study of module theory over rings, a projective module is a type of module that generalizes the concept of free modules.

In the context of module theory, a **pure submodule** is a specific type of submodule that satisfies a certain property related to the lifting of elements in modules. Let’s break down the definition and its significance. Let \( R \) be a ring, and let \( M \) be an \( R \)-module.
