After describing the module-theoretic aspects of coalgebras over commutative rings, this volume defines corings as coalgebras for non-commutative rings. Topics covered include module-theoretic aspects of corings (such as the relation of comodules to special subcategories of modules: sigma-type categories); connections between corings and extensions of rings; properties of new examples of corings associated to entwining structures; generalizations of bialgebras such as bialgebroids and weak bialgebras; and the appearance of corings in non-commutative geometry.

<p>Module theory is an important tool for many different branches of mathematics, as well as being an interesting subject in its own right. Within module theory, the concept of injective modules is particularly important. Extending modules form a natural class of modules which is more general than the class of injective modules but retains many of its desirable properties. This book gathers together for the first time in one place recent work on extending modules. It is aimed at anyone with a basic knowledge of ring and module theory.</p>

Module theory over commutative asociative rings is usually extended to noncommutative associative rings by introducing the category of left (or right) modules. An alternative to this procedure is suggested by considering bimodules. A refined module theory for associative rings is used to investigate the bimodule structure of arbitary algebras and group actions on these algebras.

This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to module theory and the related part of ring theory, including original results as well as the most recent work. It is a useful and stimulating study for those new to the subject as well as for researchers and serves as a reference volume. Starting form a basic understanding of linear algebra, the theory is presented and accompanied by complete proofs. For a module M, the smallest Grothendieck category containing it is denoted by o[M] and module theory is developed in this category. Developing the techniques in o[M] is no more complicated than in full module categories and the higher generality yields significant advantages: for example, module theory may be developed for rings without units and also for non-associative rings. Numerous exercises are included in this volume to give further insight into the topics covered and to draw attention to related results in the literature.
