Let R be a ring.

The abelian groupMathworldPlanetmath which contains only an identity elementMathworldPlanetmath (zero) gains a trivial R-module structure, which we call the .

Every R-module M has an zero elementMathworldPlanetmath and thus a submoduleMathworldPlanetmath consisting of that element. This is called the zero submodule of M.
