We are concerned with an algebra S over a commutative ring. Precisely S is a non-commutative ring with identity which is also a finitely generated unital R module such that r(xy) = (rx)y = x(ry) for r in R and x, yS. In section one, we assume A is a commutative, Artinian ring. Following Goro Azumaya (see (1, p. 273)), we define the canonical module F of A to be the injective hull of A modulo the Jacobson radical of A i.e. F = I(A/J(A)).
