PRELIMINARIES
Algebra
An algebra A over F(or an F-algebra )is an F vector space in which the element of a multiply in
a way that is compatible with the multiplication of F . Specifically.
(c a 1 )a 2 = c(a 1 a 2 ) = a 1 (c a 2 ) f or al l C F, a 1 a 2 A. (1)
Algebra Homomorphism
An algebra isomorphism is an algebra homomorphism with is both one to one and onto.
Algebra A and B are said to be isomorphic if there is an algebra isomorphism between them.
Let M n (C ) be the algebra ofn n matrix over c under usual operations of matrix addition and
multiplication .
Algebra Representation
: A M n (C ) (3)
Module
A left module over A (or A module for short) is a C vector space M in which element of M may
be multiplied on the left by element in A in an compatible may specifically.
