Bourbaki

Exercise 18, § 5

Commutative Algebra, II, 152

Bourbaki marks this one as harder than the rest.

Let A be a ring, P a faithful finitely generated projective A-module, B the A-algebra EndA(P)\mathrm{End}_A(P), E a left B-module and F the A-module HomB(P,E)\mathrm{Hom}_B(P, E). Show that the canonical homomorphism

β:P⊗AF→E \beta : P \otimes_A F \to E
defined in Algebra, Chapter VIII, § 1, no. 4, is bijective. (Reduce it to the case where A is a local ring as in Exercise 17 (c); in this case apply Exercise 9 of Algebra, Chapter VIII, § 1, observing that FnF^n and HomB(P,En)\mathrm{Hom}_B(P, E^n) are canonically isomorphic A-modules.)

Show that there exists a strictly increasing bijection of the set of sub-A-modules of F onto the set of sub-B-modules of E (same method).
