      For instance, let X be an infinite set, R the product ring K^XY\!, and A the set of homomorphisms R \rightarrow K given by evaluation at all the elements of X. Then the hypothesis of the Lemma holds, but \text{Int}_A(R) is the product ring k^XY\!, which is not in general free as a k-module.

      Thus the set X \times Y becomes a ring with these operations and it is called the product ring. The identity element of the product ring with respect to the addition is obviously (0,0) where 0 and 0 are identity elements of addition in the rings X and Y\!, respectively.

      Then A_\lambda is isomorphic to the product ring k \times k via the homomorphism sending X to (\alpha,-\alpha).
