A cyclic module (or more specifically, a cyclic left -module
over a ring
) is a module that is generated by a single
element—the analogue of a cyclic group for modules.
In a left -module
, the cyclic submodule generated by an element
is often denoted
.
Every cyclic left -module is isomorphic to a quotient module of the
left-regular module over
(that is, a quotient module of
as a left
-module).
