$A : R-Alg, M : R-Mod \vdash A \otimes_R M : A-Mod$

#### Kenny Lau (Oct 24 2020 at 16:58):

if $A$ is an $R$-algebra and $M$ is an $R$-module then $A \otimes_R M$ is an $A$-module

#### Reid Barton (Oct 24 2020 at 17:10):

except that I've been slowly working on the case of localizations

#### Eric Wieser (Oct 24 2020 at 17:18):

we can't even state that theorem if A is a non-commutative algebra, right, as we dont have modules over non-commutative rings?

It looks like my "eew, is_subring" comment is no longer valid, which is at least some progress.

In my version of the question, I was quite careful to avoid describing exactly what sorts of things $R$ and $S$ were :upside_down:
