SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the one-to-one correspondence between ideals and modules in algebra, specifically under conditions where modules are \hat{\theta}-stable and invariant under the U(1)^2 symmetry. It references a construction from the paper on arXiv (http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.1709), indicating that while an ideal defines a module, the converse is not universally applicable. The conversation highlights that this correspondence may only pertain to specific A-modules rather than all A-modules, and it suggests that the terminology for this correspondence may not exist.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of algebraic structures, specifically ideals and modules
  • Familiarity with \hat{\theta}-stable modules
  • Knowledge of U(1)^2 symmetry in algebra
  • Concept of indecomposable M-injective modules and prime M-ideals
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of \hat{\theta}-stable modules in algebra
  • Explore the implications of U(1)^2 symmetry on algebraic structures
  • Study the relationship between prime ideals and submodules in ring theory
  • Investigate the concept of isomorphism classes of indecomposable modules
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, algebraists, and graduate students focusing on module theory and algebraic structures, particularly those interested in the interplay between ideals and modules in advanced algebra.

I do not know if this is a common/standard construction, so here is my motivation for this question. From http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.1709" page 29:

Generally speaking, an ideal of an algebra defines a module. To see this, consider a vector [itex]|\mathcal{I} \rangle[/itex] which is annihilated by all elements of the ideal [itex]\mathcal{I}[/itex]. From [itex]|\mathcal{I}\rangle[/itex], we can generate a finite-dimensional representation of the algebra [itex]A[/itex] by acting with elements of [itex]A[/itex] on it. However, the converse is not always true. Fortunately, when modules are [itex]\hat{\theta}[/itex]-stable and invariant under the [itex]U(1)^2[/itex] symmetry, it was shown in Refs 33, 34 that there is a one-to-one correspondence between ideals and modules.

Is there a word for when there is such a one-to-one correspondence?

After rereading this today, I think he might just be saying there is a one-to-one correspondence between ideals and theta-stable U(1)^2-invariant A-modules specifically, not ALL A-modules. So this question probably does not have an answer!
 
For a left R-module M, you can identify certain submodules of M that are similar to that of prime ideals in a ring, R. With that definition there exists conditions on the module M which imply that there is a one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of indecomposable M-injective modules and prime M-ideals.

Hope that helps.
