Suppose that R is an algebra over the field C of complex numbers and M = N is a finite-dimensional simple module over R. Then Schur's lemma says that the endomorphism ring of the module M is a division ring ; this division ring contains C in its center, is finite-dimensional over C and is therefore equal to C. Thus the endomorphism ring of the module M is " as small as possible ".
