Lecture
This lecture covers the concepts of ideals in an associative algebra, representations, quotients of algebras, and modules over unital associative rings. It discusses Schur's lemma, intertwining operators, irreducible finite dimensional representations, and examples related to cyclic groups. The lecture also explores the structure of A-modules, left A-modules, and their relation to vector spaces. Additionally, it delves into the notion of maximal ideals in an algebra, the construction of A-modules, and the properties of simple algebras. The presentation concludes with a discussion on the structure of R-modules, submodules, and the natural structure of R-modules.
