Exercise 1, § 2

Algebra, II, 386

(a) If A is a ring with no divisors of zero, show that every element ≠0\neq 0 of a projective A-module is free.

(b) Give an example of a projective A-module whose annihilator is non-zero (cf. I, § 8, no. 11).

(c) Show that the Z\mathbf{Z}-module Q\mathbf{Q} is not a projective Z\mathbf{Z}-module. (See Commutative Algebra, II, § 5, Exercise 11 for an example of a finitely generated projective module over an integral domain, which is not free.)
