Proposition 9.3. If \( \mathcal{M} : {M}_{1} \supseteq {M}_{2} \supseteq \cdots \) is a filtration on an R-module \( M \) , then \( {\widehat{M}}_{j} = \left\{ {\left( {{x}_{1} + {M}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{i} + {M}_{i},\ldots }\right) \in {\widehat{M}}_{\mathcal{M}} \mid {x}_{j} \in {M}_{j}}\right\} \) is a submodule of \( {...
Proof. Let \( N = \widehat{M} \) . The alternate description of \( {\widehat{M}}_{j} \) shows that \( {\widehat{M}}_{1} \supseteq \) \( {\widehat{M}}_{2} \supseteq \cdots \) . Also, \( {\widehat{M}}_{j} \) is a submodule of \( \widehat{M} \), since it is the kernel of the homomorphism \( \left( {{x}_{1} + {M}_{1},{x}_{...

Proposition 9.5. If \( \varphi : M \rightarrow N \) is surjective, then \( \widehat{\varphi } : {\widehat{M}}_{\mathfrak{a}} \rightarrow {\widehat{N}}_{\mathfrak{a}} \) is surjective.
Proof. Since \( {\mathfrak{a}}^{i}N \) is generated by all \( {ry} \) with \( r \in {\mathfrak{a}}^{i} \) and \( y \in N \) we have \( {\mathfrak{a}}^{i}N = \varphi \left( {{\mathfrak{a}}^{i}M}\right) \) .

The homomorphism \( \widehat{\rho } : {\widehat{M}}_{\mathcal{N}} \rightarrow {\widehat{M}}_{\mathcal{M}} \) induced by \( {\left( {\rho }_{i}\right) }_{i \in I} \) sends \( x = \left( {{x}_{1} + {N}_{1},{x}_{2} + {N}_{2},\ldots }\right) \in {\widehat{M}}_{\mathcal{N}} \) to \( \left( {{x}_{1} + {M}_{1},{x}_{2} ...

Proposition 9.8. Let \( R \) be a commutative Noetherian ring, let \( \mathfrak{a} \) be an ideal of \( R \), and let \( M \) be a finitely generated \( R \) -module. There is an isomorphism \( {\widehat{M}}_{\mathfrak{a}} \cong {\widehat{R}}_{\mathfrak{a}}{ \otimes }_{R}M \), which is natural in \( M \) .
Proof. For every \( i > 0 \) there is an isomorphism \( R/{\mathfrak{a}}^{i}{ \otimes }_{R}M \cong M/{\mathfrak{a}}^{i}M \) , which sends \( \left( {r + {\mathfrak{a}}^{i}}\right) \otimes x \) to \( {rx} + {\mathfrak{a}}^{i}M \) and is natural in \( M \) . Hence the projections \( \widehat{R} \rightarrow R/{\mathfrak{a...

Corollary 9.9. If \( R \) is Noetherian, then \( {\widehat{R}}_{\mathfrak{a}} \) is a flat \( R \) -module, for every ideal a of \( R \) .
Proof. If \( \mu : A \rightarrow B \) is a monomorphism of \( R \) -modules, and \( A, B \) are finitely generated, then \( {\widehat{R}}_{\mathfrak{a}} \otimes \mu \) is a monomorphism, by 9.6 and 9.8. \( ▱ \)

Lemma 2.1. Given a diagram with exact rows (solid arrows) in which \( P \) is projective, there exist homomorphisms \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) (dotted arrows) that make the diagram commutative.

Theorem 7.5 (Skolem-Noether [1929]). Let \( A \) be a simple \( K \) -algebra and let B be a central simple \( K \) -algebra, both of finite dimension over \( K \) . Any two homomorphisms \( \varphi ,\psi : A \rightarrow B \) are conjugate (there exists a unit \( u \) of \( B \) such that \( \psi \left( a\right) = {u\v...
Proof. Since \( {\dim }_{K}B \) is finite, then \( B \) is left Artinian; by 7.1, \( B \cong {M}_{n}\left( D\right) \) \( \cong {\operatorname{End}}_{D}\left( S\right) \) for some division \( K \) -algebra \( D \cong {\operatorname{End}}_{B}^{\text{op }}\left( S\right) \), where \( S \) is a simple left \( B \) -module...

Proof. Let \( D \) be a division \( \mathbb{R} \) -algebra with center \( K \) and let \( F \supseteq K \) be a maximal subfield of \( D \), so that \( \mathbb{R} \subseteq K \subseteq F \subseteq D \) .

Proposition 3.1. The lattice of submodules of any module is modular.
