Let A,B be two rings, E a left A-module, F a right A-module and G an (A,B)-bimodule; HomB(F,G) then has a left A-module structure and HomA(E,G) a right B-module structure. Show that the Z-modules
HomA(E,HomB(F,G))andHomB(F,HomA(E,G)) are both canonically isomorphic to the
Z-module of
Z-bilinear mappings
f of
E×F into
G such that
f(αx,y)=αf(x,y) and
f(x,yβ)=f(x,y)β for
α∈A,β∈B,x∈E,y∈F.
