Module theory

Dual module

In mathematics, the dual module of a left (respectively right) module M over a ring R is the set of module homomorphisms from M to R with the pointwise right (respectively left) module structure. The dual module is typically denoted M∗ or HomR(M, R). If the base ring R is a field, then a dual module is a dual vector space. Every module has a canonical homomorphism to the dual of its dual (called the double dual). A reflexive module is one for which the canonical homomorphism is an isomorphism. A torsionless module is one for which the canonical homomorphism is injective. Example: If is a finite commutative group scheme represented by a Hopf algebra A over a commutative ring k, then the Cartier dual is the Spec of the dual k-module of A. (Wikipedia).

Dual basis

Dual basis definition and proof that it's a basis In this video, given a basis beta of a vector space V, I define the dual basis beta* of V*, and show that it's indeed a basis. We'll see many more applications of this concept later on, but this video already shows that it's straightforwar

Dual Basis Example

In this video, I show how to explicitly calculate dual bases. More specifically, I find the dual basis corresponding to the basis (2,1) and (3,1) of R^2. Hopefully this will give you a better idea of how dual bases work. Subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/drpeyam What is

Rings 12 Duality and injective modules

This lecture is part of an online course on rings and modules. We descibe some notions of duality for modules generalizing the dual of a vector space. We first discuss duality for free and projective modules, which is very siilar to the vector space case. Then we discuss duality for finit

Every basis is a dual basis

In this video, I show a very neat result about dual spaces: Namely, any basis of V* is automatically a dual basis of some basis of V. Even though this result is very interesting, it's the proof that makes this very exciting, by simply using the fact that V and V** are 'very' isomorphic. En

Dual Space

Dual spaces and linear functionals In this video, I introduce the concept of a dual space, which is the analog of a "shadow world" version, but for vector spaces. I also give some examples of linear and non-linear functionals. This seems like an innocent topic, but it has a huge number of

Understanding the Composition of Two Functions Teacher Explains

Learn how to compose two linear functions. To compose two functions means to express one of the functions as a function of the other function. This is done by replacing the input variable of one of the functions with the value of the second function. We will then simplify the composition a
