Topic: Scalar multiplication by ℕ and by R in a module
Luiz Kazuo Takei (Nov 12 2025 at 23:29):
In a module M (that is, [Ring R] [AddCommGroup M] [Module R M]), we have two scalar multiplications: one by elements of ℕ and another one by elements of R.
Is there a theorem that says that those two scalar multiplications are the same (when viewing elements of ℕ as elements of R)? That is, how to complete the example below?
example [Ring R] [AddCommGroup M] [Module R M] (x : M) (n : ℕ) :
n • x = (n:R) • x := sorry
