category of left modules over a division ring

Here, we assume that RR is a non-commutative division ring, i.e. a skew-field which is not a field. The category of modules behaves mostly the same as in the commutative case.

Special objects

  • terminal object: zero module
  • initial object: trivial module
  • products: direct products with pointwise operations
  • coproducts: direct sums

Undistinguishable categories

These categories in the database currently have exactly the same properties as the category of left modules over a division ring. This indicates that the data may be incomplete or that a distinguishing property may be missing from the database.
