We theoretically analyzed the microwave-induced modification of the Hall magnetoresistivity in high mobility two-dimensional electron systems. These systems present diagonal magnetoresistivity oscillations and zero-resistance states when are subjected to microwave radiation. The most surprising modification of the Hall magnetoresistivity is a periodic reduction which correlates with a periodic increase in the diagonal resistivity. We present a model that explains the experimental results considering that radiation affects directly only the diagonal resistivity and the observed Hall resistivity changes are coming from the tensor relationship between both of them.
