Definition:Ring Representation/Unital

Definition
Let $R$ be a ring with unity.

Let $M$ be an abelian group.

A unital ring representation of $R$ on $M$ is a ring representation $R \to \operatorname{End}(M)$ which is unital, that is, it is a unital ring homomorphism from $R$ to the endomorphism ring $\operatorname{End}(M)$.
