Exact sequences and finitely generated projective modules

Let $R$ be a ring and $A,B,C$ be $R$-modules in an exact sequence $$0\rightarrow A\rightarrow B\rightarrow C\rightarrow 0.$$ Submodules or quotients of finitely generated projective modules are not ...

Resolutions of bimodules as $R^e$-modules.

Let $k$ be a commutative ring, let $R$ be a $k$-algebra, a $R$-Bimodule $M$ over $R$ is a $k$-module with two actions of $R$ on $M$, on the left and on the right, the classical example of this being ...

vector bundles on the affine line over a PID

Let $R$ be a PID. Is every finitely generated projective $R[T]$-module free? In other words, is every vector bundle on $\mathbb{A}^1_R$ trivial? For $R=k[X]$ this is true by the Theorem of ...

Separability of finitely generated projectives over commutative ring

A class $\mathcal{C}$ of $R$-modules is called -separative if $A \oplus A \simeq A \oplus B \simeq B \oplus B$ implies $A \simeq B$ for each $A,B \in \mathcal{C}$ -cancelative if $A \oplus C \simeq ...

Cancellation law of morphisms?

The title is probably misleading, but I wasn't quite sure how to boil my question down to one line. My problem is this: Assume I have two projective $R$-modules, $P$ and $Q$, and epimorphisms ...

Is the module quotient of projective modules projective?

Let $R$ be a commutative ring, let $M$, $N$ and $P$ be $R$-modules, and let $N' \subseteq N$ and $P' \subseteq P$ be submodules. Let $\mu:M\times N \to P$ be a surjective bilinear map. Define the ...

The projective dimension of a module over a hypersurface

Let $A$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $A$-module. Assume that there is an element $x\in Ann(M)$ such that $x$ is non-zero divisor of $A$. Then $M$ is naturally $A/(x)$-module. I have seen the ...

Projective dimension of simple module

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ a simple $R$-module. Then $\mathfrak{m}=Ann(M)$ is a maximal ideal of $R$. Then it is known that $$ \mathrm{pdim}_{R}(M)=\mathrm{pdim}_{R_{\mathfrak{m}}}(M), $$ ...

About Rim's theorem for projective modules over group rings

Let $G$ be a finite group. A theorem of Rim (Proposition 4.9 here) states that a $\mathbb{Z}G$-module $M$ is projective if and only if $M$ is $\mathbb{Z}P$-projective for all Sylow subgroups $P$ of ...

Disclaimer: Though I have been re-reading my notes, and have scanned the relevant texts, my commutative algebra is quite rusty, so I may be overlooking something basic. I want to show $\mathbb{Q} ...
