Questions tagged [module-isomorphism]

For questions related to module isomorphism. Let $R$ be a ring, $(G,+G,∘)_R$ and $(H,+H,∘)_R$ be $R$-modules and $ϕ:G→H$ be a module homomorphism. Then $ϕ$ is a module isomorphism iff $ϕ$ is a bijection.

A module homomorphism is called a module isomorphism if it admits an inverse homomorphism; in particular, it is a bijection. Conversely, one can show a bijective module homomorphism is an isomorphism; i.e., the inverse is a module homomorphism. In particular, a module homomorphism is an isomorphism if and only if it is an isomorphism between the underlying abelian groups.

Let $R$ be a ring. Let $(G,+G,∘)_R$ and $(H,+H,∘)_R$ be $R$-modules. Let $ϕ:G→H$ be a module homomorphism.
Then $ϕ$ is a module isomorphism iff $ϕ$ is a bijection.

Ring, but not a field.

Let $R$ be a ring, $F$ a field, and $\phi:R\rightarrow F$ a ring homomorphism. Suppose that exists a bijection $f:R\rightarrow F$ such that $$f(rx+sy) = \phi(r)f(x)+\phi(s)f(y)$$ for all $r,s,x,y\in R$. I think that this does not imply that $R$ is a…
