Everything about Simple module

Type of module over a ring

In mathematics, specifically in ring theory, the simple modules over a ring R are the modules over R that are non-zero and have no non-zero proper submodules. Equivalently, a module M is simple if and only if every cyclic submodule generated by a non-zero element of M equals M. Simple modules form building blocks for the modules of finite length, and they are analogous to the simple groups in group theory. Wikipedia →
