Dual module
In mathematics, the dual module of a left (resp. right) module M over a ring R is the set of module homomorphisms from M to R with the pointwise right (resp. left) module structure.
Every module has a canonical homomorphism to the dual of its dual (called the double dual). A reflexive module is one for which the canonical homomorphism is an isomorphism. A torsionless module is one for which the canonical homomorphism is injective.
