Proposition 3.6. Let \( f : R \rightarrow S \) be a homomorphism of commutative rings. Then, with notation as above, \( {f}_{ * } \) is right-adjoint to \( {f}^{ * } \) and left-adjoint to \( {f}^{!} \) . In particular, \( {f}_{ * } \) is exact, \( {f}^{ * } \) is right-exact, and \( {f}^{!} \) is left-exact.
Proof. Let \( M \), resp., \( N \), be an \( R \) -module, resp., an \( S \) -module. Note that, trivially, \( {\text{Hom}}_{S}\left( {S, N}\right) \) is canonically isomorphic to \( N \) (as an \( S \) -module) and to \( {f}_{ * }\left( N\right) \) (as an \( R \) -module).

Lemma 4.2. Let \( \varphi : {M}^{\ell } \rightarrow P \) be an \( R \) -multilinear function.\n\nIf \( \varphi \) is alternating, then for all \( \sigma \in {S}_{\ell } \), and all \( {m}_{1},\ldots ,{m}_{\ell } \), \n\n\[ \varphi \left( {{m}_{\sigma \left( 1\right) },\ldots ,{m}_{\sigma \left( \ell \right) }}\right) =...
Proof. For the first statement, it suffices to show that interchanging any two factors switches the sign of an alternating function (since transpositions generate the symmetric group). Since the other factors have no effect on this operation, this reduces the question to the case \( \ell = 2 \) . Therefore, we only hav...

Lemma 4.3. Let \( R \) be a commutative ring, and let \( M \) be a free \( R \) -module of rank \( r \) . Then \( {\Lambda }_{R}^{\ell }\left( M\right) \) is a free \( R \) -module of rank \( \left( \begin{array}{l} r \\ \ell \end{array}\right) \) .
Proof. There are \( \left( \begin{array}{l} r \\ \ell \end{array}\right) \) sequences of indices \( {i}_{1},\ldots ,{i}_{\ell } \) satisfying \( 1 \leq {i}_{1} < \cdots < {i}_{\ell } \leq r \) , so we just need to show that the generators \( {e}_{{i}_{1}} \land \cdots \land {e}_{{i}_{\ell }} \) are linearly independent...

The polynomial ring \( R\left\lbrack {{x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n}}\right\rbrack \) over any ring \( R \) carries a natural grading, given by the (ordinary) degree of polynomials.
We may write\n\n\[\nR\left\lbrack {{x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n}}\right\rbrack = R \oplus \left\langle {{x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n}}\right\rangle \oplus \left\langle {{x}_{1}^{2},{x}_{1}{x}_{2},\ldots ,{x}_{n}^{2}}\right\rangle \oplus \cdots .\n\]

Lemma 4.12. Let \( {I}_{\mathbb{S}},{I}_{\mathbb{A}} \subseteq {\mathbb{T}}_{R}^{ * }\left( M\right) \) be the ideals respectively generated by all elements of the form \( \left( {m \otimes n - n \otimes m}\right) \) as \( m, n \in M \) and by elements of the form \( m \otimes m \) as \( m \in M \) .

Proof. We have observed in \( §{4.3} \) that the kernel of a graded homomorphism is the direct sum of the kernels of the induced homomorphisms in each degree; the statement of the lemma then follows easily from the explicit descriptions of the kernels of the canonical projections from the tensor powers to the symmetric...

The free case is particularly easy to understand. For instance,\n\n\[ \n{S}_{R}^{ * }\left( {R}^{\oplus r}\right) \cong R\left\lbrack {{x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{r}}\right\rbrack \n\]
Indeed, the polynomial ring satisfies the appropriate universal property with respect to mapping to commutative rings (cf. §III.2.2 and §III.6.4). Likewise, \( {\mathbb{T}}_{R}^{ * }\left( {R}^{\oplus r}\right) \) should be thought of as a ’noncommutative’ polynomial ring, in which the \( r \) inde-terminates do not co...

Proposition 5.2. For every \( R \) -module \( N \), the functor \( {\operatorname{Hom}}_{R}\left( {\_, N}\right) \) is right-adjoint to itself.

Corollary 5.7. The dual of a free module is isomorphic to a product of copies of \( R \) :\n\n\[ \n{\left( {R}^{\oplus S}\right) }^{ \vee } \cong {R}^{S} \n\]\n\nIn particular, \( {\left( {R}^{n}\right) }^{ \vee } \cong {R}^{n} \) : if \( F \) is a free \( R \) -module of finite rank, then \( {F}^{ \vee } \cong F \) .
Proof. This follows from Lemma 5.6 and the fact that \( {R}^{ \vee } = {\operatorname{Hom}}_{R}\left( {R, R}\right) \) is isomorphic to \( R \) .
No
To see that these isomorphisms do depend on the choice of the basis, consider the standard basis \( \left( {{\mathbf{e}}_{1},{\mathbf{e}}_{2}}\right) \) of \( {R}^{2} \) and the corresponding dual basis \( \left( {{\check{\mathbf{e}}}_{1},{\check{\mathbf{e}}}_{2}}\right) \) of \( {\left( {R}^{2}\right) }^{ \vee } \), a...

Lemma 5.12. The duality functor is left-exact: every exact sequence\n\n\[ L \rightarrow M \rightarrow N \rightarrow 0 \]\n\nof \( R \) -modules induces an exact sequence\n\n\[ 0 \rightarrow {N}^{ \vee } \rightarrow {M}^{ \vee } \rightarrow {L}^{ \vee }.\n\]

Proposition 5.16. Let \( R \) be an integral domain, and let \( M \) be an \( R \)-module. Then \( {M}^{ \vee } \) is torsion-free.

For example, assume that \( P \) is projective; then we claim that every exact sequence\n\n\[ 0 \rightarrow L\xrightarrow[]{\;\lambda \;}M\xrightarrow[]{\;\mu \;}P \rightarrow 0 \]\n\nsplits, in the sense that there is a submodule \( {P}^{\prime } \) of \( M \) such that \( \mu \) restricts to an isomorphism \( {P}^{\p...
Indeed, since \( P \) is projective, then the identity \( P\overset{ \equiv }{ \rightarrow }P \) lifts to a homomorphism \( \rho : P \rightarrow M \), and the reader can then verify that \( {P}^{\prime } = \rho \left( P\right) \) fits the requirement. Loosely speaking, in this situation we can simply replace \( M \) by...

Proposition 6.4. An R-module \( P \) is projective if and only if it is a direct summand of a free module, that is, if and only if there exists a free \( R \) -module \( F \) , an \( R \) - module \( K \), and an isomorphism \( K \oplus P \cong F \) .
Proof. Any set \( S \) of generators of \( P \) determines a surjection of the free module \( F = {R}^{\oplus S} \) onto \( P \) and hence an exact sequence\n\n\[ 0 \rightarrow K \rightarrow F \rightarrow P \rightarrow 0. \]\n\nAs observed above, such a sequence necessarily splits if \( P \) is projective; thus \( F \c...

Let \( {P}_{1},{P}_{2} \) be projective \( R \) -modules. Then \( {P}_{1} \oplus {P}_{2} \) and \( {P}_{1}{ \otimes }_{R}{P}_{2} \) are projective. Projective modules are flat.
These statements follow easily from Proposition 6.4, the fact that \( \otimes \) is distributive with respect to \( \oplus \), and the fact that free modules are flat.

Theorem 6.6. An R-module \( Q \) is injective if and only if every \( R \) -linear map \( f \) : \( I \rightarrow Q \), with \( I \) an ideal of \( R \), extends to an \( R \) -linear map \( \widehat{f} : R \rightarrow Q \) .
Proof. The 'only if' part of the statement is immediate from the definition of injective. To verify the ’if’ part, assume \( Q \) satisfies the stated extension condition, let \( L \subseteq M \) be any inclusion of \( R \) -modules, and let \( q : L \rightarrow Q \) be a given \( R \) -linear map:\n\n![ed3b132a-22da-4...

Viewed as abelian groups (i.e., \( \mathbb{Z} \)-modules), \( \mathbb{Q} \) and \( \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z} \) are injective. More generally, if \( D \) is any divisible abelian group and \( K \subseteq D \), then \( D/K \) is injective.

Corollary 6.12. Let \( M \) be an \( R \) -module. Then \( M \) can be identified with a submodule of an injective \( R \) -module.
Proof. We claim that it suffices to show that \( \mathbb{Z} \) -Mod has enough injectives, Indeed, this will show that there exists a divisible abelian group \( D \) such that \( M \subseteq D(M \) is in particular an abelian group); since \( R \) -linear maps are in particular \( \mathbb{Z} \) -linear,\n\n\[ M \cong {...

Proposition 6.14. An \( R \) -module \( P \) is projective if and only if \( {\operatorname{Ext}}_{R}^{1}\left( {P,\_ }\right) = 0 \), if and only if \( {\operatorname{Ext}}_{R}^{i}\left( {P,\_ }\right) = 0 \) for all \( i > 0 \) .
Proof. The second assertion: we have already noted that \( Q \) is injective if \( {\operatorname{Ext}}_{R}^{1}\left( {\_, Q}\right) = \) 0, and this is trivially the case if \( {\operatorname{Ext}}_{R}^{i}\left( {\_, Q}\right) = 0 \) for all \( i > 0 \) .

Proof. This now follows immediately from Lemma 2.7: exactness in A means that \( \operatorname{im}\varphi = \ker \psi \), and exactness in \( {\operatorname{Set}}^{ * } \) means that the image of \( \widehat{\varphi } \) equals \( {\widehat{\psi }}^{-1}\left( 0\right) \) . By Lemma 2.7, these conditions are equivalent.

Theorem 2.9 (Freyd-Mitchell theorem). Let \( \mathrm{A} \) be a small abelian category. Then there is a fully faithful, exact functor \( \mathsf{A} \rightarrow R \) -Mod for a suitable ring \( R \) .
This functor is fully faithful: this means that one can in fact construct morphisms in an arbitrary (small) abelian category by working with elements. Indeed, this amounts to constructing the appropriate morphisms in the ambient category \( R \) -Mod, and fullness guarantees that these morphisms ’already’ exist in A.

Lemma 3.3. \( \mathrm{C}\left( \mathrm{A}\right) \) is an abelian category.
We will leave to the reader the careful verification of this fact (Exercise 3.3).

The datum of a resolution \( {M}^{ \bullet } \) of an object \( A \) of an abelian category A, as in Definition 3.2 and with \( {M}^{i} = 0 \) for \( i > 0 \), is the same as the datum of a quasi-isomorphism\n\n\[ \n{M}^{ \bullet }\xrightarrow[]{\text{ q-iso. }}\iota \left( A\right) \n\]\n\nwhere \( \iota \) places \( ...
Thus, quasi-isomorphisms may be viewed as generalizations of more simpleminded resolutions.

Let \( {M}^{ \bullet } \) be an exact complex in \( \mathrm{C}\left( \mathrm{A}\right) \) . Then the complex \( \mathcal{F}\left( {M}^{ \bullet }\right) \), obtained by applying \( \mathcal{F} \) to the objects and morphisms of \( {M}^{ \bullet } \), is a zero-object in \( \mathrm{D} \) .
To verify the first claim, note that since \( {M}^{ \bullet } \) is exact, the zero-morphism: \( {M}^{ \bullet } \rightarrow \) \( {M}^{ \bullet } \) is a quasi-isomorphism; hence it is mapped to an invertible morphism by \( \mathcal{F} \) : \n\n\[ \mathcal{F}\left( {M}^{ \bullet }\right) \underset{{\operatorname{id}}_...

To see that \( {\alpha }^{ \bullet } \) may not be zero on the nose even if \( {\rho }^{ \bullet } \circ {\alpha }^{ \bullet } = 0 \) , look back again at Example 4.6:

Given \( C \) and the maps \( {\varphi }_{i} \), define \( \varphi : C \rightarrow \mathop{\prod }\limits_{{i \in I}}{A}_{i} \) by \( c \mapsto {f}_{c} \...

Theorem 6.1. (Principle of Mathematical Induction) If \( \mathrm{S} \) is a subset of the set \( \mathbf{N} \) of natural numbers such that \( {0\varepsilon }\mathrm{S} \) and either\n\n(i) \( \mathrm{n}\varepsilon \mathrm{S} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n} + {1\varepsilon }\mathrm{S}\; \) for all \( \mathrm{n}\varepsilon \math...
PROOF. If \( \mathbf{N} - S \neq \varnothing \), let \( n \neq 0 \) be its least element. Then for every \( m < n \) , we must have \( m \notin \mathbf{N} - S \) and hence \( {m\varepsilon S} \) . Consequently either (i) or (ii) implies \( {n\varepsilon S} \), which is a contradiction. Therefore \( \mathbf{N} - S = \va...

Theorem 6.2. (Recursion Theorem) If \( \mathrm{S} \) is a set, \( \mathrm{a}\varepsilon \mathrm{S} \) and for each \( \mathrm{n}\varepsilon \mathrm{N},{\mathrm{f}}_{\mathrm{n}} : \mathrm{S} \rightarrow \mathrm{S} \) is a function, then there is a unique function \( \varphi : \mathbf{N} \rightarrow \mathbf{S} \) such th...
SKETCH OF PROOF. We shall construct a relation \( R \) on \( \mathbf{N} \times S \) that is the graph of a function \( \varphi : \mathbf{N} \rightarrow S \) with the desired properties.

Theorem 6.3. (Division Algorithm) If \( \mathrm{a},\mathrm{b},\mathrm{e}\mathbf{Z} \) and \( \mathrm{a} \neq 0 \), then there exists unique integers \( \mathrm{q} \) and \( \mathrm{r} \) such that \( \mathrm{b} = \mathrm{{aq}} + \mathrm{r} \), and \( 0 \leq \mathrm{r} < \left| \mathrm{a}\right| \) .
SKETCH OF PROOF. Show that the set \( S = \{ b - {ax} \mid {x\varepsilon }\mathbf{Z}, b - {ax} \geq 0\} \) is a nonempty subset of \( \mathbf{N} \) and therefore contains a least element \( r = b - {aq} \) (for some \( q \in \mathbf{Z} \) ). Thus \( b = {aq} + r \) . Use the fact that \( r \) is the least element in \(...

Theorem 6.5. If \( {\mathrm{a}}_{1},{\mathrm{a}}_{2},\ldots ,{\mathrm{a}}_{\mathrm{n}} \) are integers, not all 0, then \( \left( {{\mathrm{a}}_{1},{\mathrm{a}}_{2},\ldots ,{\mathrm{a}}_{\mathrm{n}}}\right) \) exists.
Furthermore there are integers \( {\mathrm{k}}_{1},{\mathrm{k}}_{2},\ldots ,{\mathrm{k}}_{\mathrm{n}} \) such that\n\nConsider \( \mathrm{{ki}} = 1 \), and others \( = 0 \)\n\n\[ \left( {{a}_{1},{a}_{2},\ldots ,{a}_{n}}\right) = {k}_{1}{a}_{1} + {k}_{2}{a}_{2} + \cdots + {k}_{n}{a}_{n}. \]\n\nSKETCH OF PROOF.

Theorem 6.6. If \( \mathrm{a} \) and \( \mathrm{b} \) are relatively prime integers and \( \mathrm{a} \mid \mathrm{{bc}} \), then \( \mathrm{a} \mid \mathrm{c} \) .
SKETCH OF PROOF. By Theorem 6.5 \( 1 = {ra} + {sb} \), whence \( c = {rac} + {sbc} \) . Therefore \( a \mid c \) .

Theorem 6.7. (Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic) Any positive integer \( \mathrm{n} > 1 \) may be written uniquely in the form \( \mathrm{n} = {\mathrm{p}}_{1}{}^{{\mathrm{t}}_{1}}{\mathrm{p}}_{2}{}^{{\mathrm{t}}_{2}}\cdots {\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{k}}{}^{{\mathrm{t}}_{\mathrm{k}}} \), where \( {\mathrm{p}}_{1} < {\mathrm...

Theorem 6.8. Let \( \mathrm{m} > 0 \) be an integer and \( \mathrm{a},\mathrm{b},\mathrm{c},\mathrm{d}\varepsilon \mathbf{Z} \) .\n\n(i) Congruence modulo \( \mathrm{m} \) is an equivalence relation on the set of integers \( \mathbf{Z} \), which has precisely \( \mathrm{m} \) equivalence classes.
PROOF. (i) The fact that congruence modulo \( m \) is an equivalence relation is an easy consequence of the appropriate definitions. Denote the equivalence class of an integer \( a \) by \( \bar{a} \) and recall property (20), which can be stated in this context as:\n\n\[ \bar{a} = \bar{b} \Leftrightarrow a \equiv b\le...

Theorem 7.1. (Principle of Transfinite Induction) If \( \mathbf{B} \) is a subset of a well-ordered set \( \left( {A, \leq }\right) \) such that for every \( {a\varepsilon A} \) ,\n\n\[ \n\\{ {c\\varepsilon A} \\mid c < a\\} \\subset B \\Rightarrow {a\\varepsilon B}, \n\]\n\nthen \( \\mathrm{B} = \\mathrm{A} \) .
PROOF. If \( A - B \neq \varnothing \), then there is a least element \( {a\varepsilon A} - B \) . By the definitions of least element and \( A - B \) we must have \( \\{ c\\varepsilon A \\mid c < a\\} \\subset B \) . By hypothesis then, \( a \in B \) so that \( a \in B \cap \left( {A - B}\\right) = \varnothing \), whi...

Theorem 8.1. Equipollence is an equivalence relation on the class \( § \) of all sets.
PROOF. Exercise; note that \( \varnothing \sim \varnothing \) since \( \varnothing \subset \varnothing \times \varnothing \) is a relation that is (vacuously) a bijective function. \( {}^{3} \)

Theorem 8.5. If \( \mathrm{A} \) is a set and \( \mathrm{P}\left( \mathrm{A}\right) \) its power set, then \( \left| \mathrm{A}\right| < \left| {\mathrm{P}\left( \mathrm{A}\right) }\right| \) .
SKETCH OF PROOF. The assignment \( a \mapsto \{ a\} \) defines an injective map \( A \rightarrow P\left( A\right) \) so that \( \left| A\right| \leq \left| {P\left( A\right) }\right| \) . If there were a bijective map \( f : A \rightarrow P\left( A\right) \), then for some \( {a}_{0} \in A, f\left( {a}_{0}\right) = B \...

Theorem 8.6. (Schroeder-Bernstein) If \( \mathrm{A} \) and \( \mathrm{B} \) are sets such that \( \left| \mathrm{A}\right| \leq \left| \mathrm{B}\right| \) and \( \left| \mathrm{B}\right| \leq \left| \mathrm{A}\right| \), then \( \left| \mathrm{A}\right| = \left| \mathrm{B}\right| \) .
SKETCH OF PROOF. By hypothesis there are injective maps \( f : A \rightarrow B \) and \( g : B \rightarrow A \) . We shall use \( f \) and \( g \) to construct a bijection \( h : A \rightarrow B \) . This will imply that \( A \sim B \) and hence \( \left| A\right| = \left| B\right| \) . If \( {a\varepsilon A} \), then ...

Theorem 8.7. The class of all cardinal numbers is linearly ordered by \( \leq \) . If \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are cardinal numbers, then exactly one of the following is true:\n\n\[ \alpha < \beta ;\;\alpha = \beta ;\;\beta < \alpha \;\text{ (Trichotomy Law). } \]
SKETCH OF PROOF. It is easy to verify that \( \leq \) is a partial ordering. Let \( \alpha ,\beta \) be cardinals and \( A, B \) be sets such that \( \left| A\right| = \alpha ,\left| B\right| = \beta \) . We shall show that \( \leq \) is a linear ordering (that is, either \( \alpha \leq \beta \) or \( \beta \leq \alpha...
