Definition:Ring Representation Defined by Ring Action

Definition
Let $R$ be a ring.

Let $M$ be an abelian group.

Let $\phi : R \times M \to M$ be a left linear ring action.

The associated ring representation is the ring representation $\rho : R \to \map {\operatorname {End} } M$ with:
 * $\map \rho r \paren m = \map \phi {r, m}$
