Lemma 10.12.7. For A-module M, B-module P and (A, B)-bimodule N, the modules (M \otimes _ A N)\otimes _ B P and M \otimes _ A(N \otimes _ B P) can both be given (A, B)-bimodule structure, and moreover

(M \otimes _ A N)\otimes _ B P \cong M \otimes _ A(N \otimes _ B P).

Proof. A priori M \otimes _ A N is an A-module, but we can give it a B-module structure by letting

(x \otimes y)b = x \otimes yb, \quad x\in M, y\in N, b\in B

Thus M \otimes _ A N becomes an (A, B)-bimodule. Similarly for N \otimes _ B P, and thus for (M \otimes _ A N)\otimes _ B P and M \otimes _ A(N \otimes _ B P). By Lemma 10.12.5, these two modules are isomorphic as both as A-module and B-module via the same mapping. \square

In the first line, and are not in mathmode.

Good catch! I wonder if there is a way to find all of these using a python script?
