Outer actions on balanced tensor products #
An action on either factor which commutes with the balancing action descends to the balanced tensor product. Actions on opposite factors commute. These are the outer actions on the tensor product of bimodules. They carry no Koszul sign: the left action acts on the first factor and the right action on the second factor without crossing a tensor factor.
The module structures are explicit definitions rather than global instances, since a scalar ring acting on both factors can give two different actions on the quotient.
