If \( k \) is a field of characteristic \( p \), and \( G \) is a finite \( p \) -group, then the group ring \( k\left\lbrack G\right\rbrack \) is quasilocal. In particular, taking \( k \) finite and \( G \) noncommutative, there exist finite noncommutative quasilocal rings.
To see how this example works out, define \( \epsilon : k\left\lbrack G\right\rbrack \rightarrow k \) via \( \epsilon \left( {\sum {x}_{i}{g}_{i}}\right) = \) \( \sum {x}_{i};\epsilon \) is called the augmentation map, and is a ring homomorphism onto with kernel \( M = \left\{ {\sum {x}_{i}{g}_{i} : \sum {x}_{i} = 0}\r...

Lemma 9.35 Suppose \( R \) is quasilocal with maximal ideal \( M \) and quotient division ring \( D = R/M \) .

Lemma 9.36 Suppose \( R \) is quasilocal with maximal ideal \( M \) and quotient division ring \( D = R/M \) . Then for any \( B \in {}_{R}\mathbf{M},{\operatorname{Hom}}_{R}\left( {B, D}\right) \approx \) \( {\operatorname{Hom}}_{D}\left( {B/{MB}, D}\right) \) .
Proof: As in the proof of Lemma 9.35, if \( f \in {\operatorname{Hom}}_{R}\left( {B, D}\right) \), then for \( m \in M, x \in B \), we have \( f\left( {mx}\right) = {mf}\left( x\right) = 0 \), since \( f\left( x\right) \in R/M \) . Thus, \( f \) restricts to zero on \( {MB} \), so restriction from \( \operatorname{Hom}...

Theorem 9.37 (Universality of D) Suppose \( R \) is quasilocal and left Noetherian with maximal ideal \( M \) and quotient division ring \( D = R/M \) . Let \( B \) be a nonzero finitely generated left \( R \) -module. Then \( {\operatorname{Tor}}_{n}\left( {D, B}\right) \) is nonzero for \( 0 \leq n \leq \mathrm{P} - ...
Proof: The claim is that if \( n \leq \mathrm{P} \) -dim \( B \), then \( {\operatorname{Tor}}_{n}\left( {D, B}\right) \neq 0 \) and the dual of \( {\operatorname{Tor}}_{n}\left( {D, B}\right) \) as a left vector space over \( D \) is \( {\operatorname{Ext}}^{n}\left( {B, D}\right) \) . This is by induction on \( n \) ...

Corollary 9.38 Suppose \( R \) is quasilocal and left and right Noetherian with maximal ideal \( M \) and quotient division ring \( D = R/M \) . Then all dimensions (left/right and flat/projective/injective) of \( D \) are equal to the left global dimension of \( R \), and \( {\operatorname{Tor}}_{n}\left( {D, D}\right...
Proof: Theorem 9.37 applies on both sides, giving left/right, flat/injective dimensions \( = \mathrm{{LG}} - \dim R = \mathrm{{RG}} - \dim R = \mathrm{W} - \dim R \) by Corollary 4.21. Since projective dimension \( = \) flat dimension by Proposition 4.20 itself, we have the dimensional result. The rest is now direct fr...

Proposition 9.39 Suppose \( R \) is quasilocal and left Noetherian with maximal ideal \( M \) . Suppose \( \exists x \in M \) with \( x \neq 0 \) but \( {xM} = 0 \) . Then every finitely generated nonprojective left \( R \) -module has infinite projective dimension.
Proof: Suppose not. Suppose some finitely generated \( B \in {}_{R}\mathbf{M} \) has finite projective dimension and is not projective. We can replace \( B \) with \( K \), where \( F \) is free and \( 0 \rightarrow K \rightarrow F \rightarrow B \rightarrow 0 \) is short exact, reducing the dimension if \( n > 1 \), so...

Write \( a = {p}^{k}u \) with a \( p \) -adic unit \( u \) . Hence \( {p}^{k} = \) \( {u}^{-1}a \in I \) and \( \left( {p}^{k}\right) = {p}^{k}{\mat...

Corollary 1. The quotient of \( {\mathbf{Z}}_{p} \) by a closed subgroup \( H \neq \{ 0\} \) is discrete.
Proof. Indeed, discrete subgroups are closed: We have a complete list of these (being closed in \( {\mathbf{Z}}_{p} \) compact, a discrete subgroup is finite hence trivial). Alternatively, if a subgroup \( H \) contains a nonzero element \( h \), it contains all multiples of \( h \) , and hence \( H \supset \mathbf{N} ...

Proof. The map \( \left( {x, y}\right) \mapsto x - y \) is continuous. Let us check that the map \( \left( {x, y}\right) \mapsto \) \( x{y}^{-1} \) is continuous on \( {K}^{ \times } \times {K}^{ \times } \) .

Proposition 2. In a projective limit \( E = \mathop{\lim }\limits_{ \leftarrow }{E}_{n} \) of topological spaces, a basis of the topology is furnished by the sets \( {\psi }_{n}^{-1}\left( {U}_{n}\right) \), where \( n \geq 0 \) and \( {U}_{n} \) is an arbitrary open set in \( {E}_{n} \) .
Proof. We take a family \( x = \left( {x}_{i}\right) \) in the projective limit and show that the mentioned open sets containing \( x \) form a basis of neighborhoods of this point. If we take two open sets \( {V}_{n} \subset {E}_{n} \) and \( {V}_{n - 1} \subset {E}_{n - 1} \), the conjunction of the conditions \( {x}...

Proposition 3. Let \( A \) be a subset of a projective limit \( E = \lim {E}_{n} \) of topological spaces. Then the closure \( \bar{A} \) of \( A \) is given by\n\n\[ \bar{A} = \mathop{\bigcap }\limits_{{n \geq 0}}{\psi }_{n}^{-1}\left( \overline{{\psi }_{n}\left( A\right) }\right) \]

Conversely, if \( b \) lies in the intersection, let us show that \( b \) is in the closure of \( A \) . Let \( V \) be a neighborhood of \( ...

Proposition 1. When \( p \) is an odd prime, the group of roots of unity in the field \( {\mathbf{Q}}_{p} \) is \( {\mu }_{p - 1} \) .

Proposition 1. For each positive integer \( m \geq 1 \) prime to \( p \) the solenoid \( {\mathbf{S}}_{p} \) has a unique cyclic subgroup \( {C}_{m} \) of order \( m \) .
Proof. Let us denote temporarily by \( {C}_{m}^{n} \) the cyclic subgroup of order \( m \) of the circle \( \mathbf{R}/{p}^{n}\mathbf{Z} \) (it is the subgroup \( {m}^{-1}\mathbf{Z}/{p}^{n}\mathbf{Z} \) ).

Proof. Since the restriction of the sum homomorphism \( f : \\mathbf{R} \\times {\\mathbf{Q}}_{p} \\rightarrow {\\mathbf{S}}_{p} \) to the subgroup \( \\mathbf{R} \\times {\\mathbf{Z}}_{p} \) is already surjective, this restriction gives a (topological and algebraic) isomorphism\n\n\[ {f}^{\\prime } : \\left( {\\mathbf...

Corollary 2. The solenoid can also be viewed as a quotient of the topological space \( \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \times {\mathbf{Z}}_{p} \) by the equivalence relation identifying \( \left( {1, x}\right) \) to \( \left( {0, x + 1}\right) \;\left( {x \in {\mathbf{Z}}_{p}}\right) .
Proof. This follows immediately from the previous corollary, since the restriction of the sum homomorphism to \( \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \times {\mathbf{Z}}_{p} \) is already surjective, whereas its restriction to \( \lbrack 0,1) \times {\mathbf{Z}}_{p} \) is bijective.

Proposition 2. The solenoid \( {\mathbf{S}}_{p} \) is an indecomposable compact connected topological space.

Lemma 3. (a) The spheres \( {S}_{r}\left( a\right) \left( {r > 0}\right) \) are both open and closed.
Proof. (a) The spheres are closed in all metric spaces, since the distance function \( x \mapsto d\left( {x, a}\right) \) is continuous. A sphere of positive radius is open in an ultrametric space by part \( \left( c\right) \) of the previous lemma.

Corollary 1. If the ramification index \( e = e\left( K\right) \) is finite, then the group \( {\mu }_{{p}^{\infty }}\left( K\right) \) of roots of unity in \( K \) having order a power of \( p \) is finite. More precisely,\n\n\[ \n\# \left( {{\mu }_{{p}^{\infty }}\left( K\right) }\right) \leq \frac{e}{1 - 1/p}.\n\]

In general, if the field \( K \) has a root of order \( {p}^{t} \), the preceding theorem shows that the ramification index \( e \) is a multiple of \( \varphi \left( {p}^{t}\right) = {p}^{t} - {p}^{t - 1} \) .

For \( \left| x\right| < {r}_{p} \) and \( \left| y\right| < {r}_{p} \) we have\n\n\[ \exp \left( {x + y}\right) = \exp \left( x\right) \cdot \exp \left( y\right) \]\n\n\[ \log \exp \left( x\right) = x \]\n\n\[ \exp \log \left( {1 + x}\right) = 1 + x. \]

In particular, its sum is independent of the way terms are grouped before summing. Hence the first identity holds as soon as the variables \( x \) and \( y \) are ...

For any polynomial \( f \), the radius of convergence of the composite \( f \circ g \) is \( \geq {r}_{g} \) and \[ \left( {f \circ g}\right) \left( x\right) = f\left( {g\left( x\right) }\right) \;\left( {\left| x\right| < {r}_{g}}\right) .

Proposition 1. When \( \left| {K}^{ \times }\right| \) is dense in \( {\mathbf{R}}_{ > 0} \) and \( f \in K\{ X\} \), the Gauss norm of \( f \) and the sup norm of the function defined by \( f \) on the unit ball \( A \) of \( K \) coincide.
