A homalg module is a data structure for a finitely presented module. A presentation is given by a set of generators and a set of relations among these generators. The data structure for modules in homalg has two novel features:
The data structure allows several presentations linked with so-called transition matrices. One of the presentations is marked as the default presentation, which is usually the last added one. A new presentation can always be added provided it is linked to the default presentation by a transition matrix. If needed, the user can reset the default presentation by choosing one of the other presentations saved in the data structure of the homalg module. Effectively, a module is then given by "all" its presentations (as "coordinates") together with isomorphisms between them (as "coordinate changes"). Being able to "change coordinates" makes the realization of a module in homalg intrinsic (or "coordinate free").
To present a left/right module it suffices to take a matrix M and interpret its rows/columns as relations among \(n\) abstract generators, where \(n\) is the number of columns/rows of M. Only that these abstract generators are useless when it comes to specific modules like modules of homomorphisms, where one expects the generators to be maps between modules. For this reason a presentation of a module in homalg is not merely a matrix of relations, but together with a set of generators.
