Abstract

We consider R\,R-modules as functors in the following way: if M\,M\, is a (left) RR-module, let M\,\mathcal M\, be the functor of R\,\mathcal R-modules defined by M(S):=SRM\,\mathcal M(S) := S \otimes_R M\, for every R\,R-algebra S\,S. With the corresponding notion of dual functor, we prove that the natural morphism of functors MM\,\mathcal M\to \mathcal M^{**}\, is an isomorphism.
