Commutative Algebra 26

Left-Exact Functors We saw (in theorem 1 here) that the localization functor is exact, which gave us a whole slew of nice properties, including preservation of submodules, quotient modules, finite intersection/sum, etc. However, exactness is often too much to ask … Continue reading

Commutative Algebra 21

Exact Sequences When studying homomorphisms of modules over a fixed ring, we often encounter sequences like this: where each is a homomorphism of modules. This sequence may terminate (on either end) or it may continue indefinitely. Note on indices: usually … Continue reading
