\begin{definition}
\label{definition-bimodule}
An abelian group $N$ is called an {\it $(A, B)$-bimodule} if it is both an
$A$-module and a $B$-module, and
the actions $A \to End(M)$ and $B \to End(M)$
are compatible in the sense that $(ax)b = a(xb)$ for all
$a\in A, b\in B, x\in N$. Usually we denote it as $_AN_B$.
$A$-module and a $B$-module and for all $a \in A$ and $b \in B$ the
multiplication by $a$ and $b$ commute, so $b(an) = a(bn)$ for all $n \in N$.
In this situation we usually write the $B$-action on the right: so
for $b \in B$ and $n \in N$ the result of multiplying $n$ by $b$
is denoted $nb$. With this convention the compatibility above is
that $(ax)b = a(xb)$ for all $a\in A, b\in B, x\in N$.
The shorthand $_AN_B$ is used to denote an $(A, B)$-bimodule $N$.
