Dimension of an A module bounded by dimension as a k vector space

24 Views Asked by At

Let A be a k-algebra and V be an A-module which is also a k-vector space (I believe this extra assumption is necessary if we don't know A to be a unital algebra?). Moreover, let V have finite k-dimension. Is the dimension of V as an A-module bounded by its k-dimension? I am confident of this in the case where our algebra is a group algebra, though, I have not written a proof down.
