The tensor product is a bifunctor in the category of modules over a fixed ring . In the subcategory of algebras over , the tensor product is just the cofibered product over .
Definition
The tensor product of two -modules and , denoted by , is an -module satisfying the universal property
Functoriality
The functor is right-exact from the category of (right) to the category of -modules.
The derived functors .
