Bourbaki

Exercise 18, § 5

Commutative Algebra, II

Bourbaki marks this one as harder than the rest.

Let AA be a ring, PP a finitely generated projective faithful a-module, BB the A-algebra EndA(P)\mathrm{End}_A(P), EE a left b-module, FF the a-module HomB(P,E)\mathrm{Hom}_B(P, E). Now prove that the canonical homomorphism

β:P⊗ A F→E

defined in Alg., Chap. VIII, § 1, No. 4, is bijective. (Reduce to the case where AA is a local ring as in Exercise 17 c); apply in this case Exercise 9 d) of Alg., Chap. VIII, § 1, observing that FnF^n and HomB(P,En)\mathrm{Hom}_B(P, E^n) are canonically isomorphic a-modules.)

Now prove that there exists a strictly increasing bijective mapping from the set of sub-a-modules of F onto the set of sub-b-modules of E (same method).
