generalized matrix ring
Let be an indexing set. A ring of generalized matrices is a ring with a decompostion (as an additive group)
such that if and if .
If is finite, then we usually replace it by its cardinal and speak of a ring of generalized matrices with components for .
If we arrange the components as follows:
and we write elements of in the same fashion, then the multiplication in follows the same pattern as ordinary matrix multiplication.
Note that is an --bimodule, and the multiplication of elements induces homomorphisms for all .
Conversely, given a collection of rings , and for each an --bimodule , and for each with and a homomorphism , we can construct a generalized matrix ring structure on
where we take .
