Homework 6

Due Monday, December 2

The problem set is due by the beginning of Monday class.

Reading: Class notes. Atiyah-MacDonald: Exercises 2.14-2.19 and the Topology and Completions section from Chapter 10. Eisenbud: Introduction to Chapter 6, Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 (Proposition 6.1, Corollary 6.3 through Corollary 6.5), 7.1, 7.2 (through Theorem 7.2), and 7.5 (Proposition 7.12, Corollary 7.13, and proofs of Theorems 7.1 and 7.2)]

Exercises: Eisenbud:   1.23, 6.1, 7.11.

Exercise G: Show that the functor of direct limit on the category of R-modules is exact.

Exercise H: Let R be a ring, x ∈ R and M an R-module. Show that the direct limit of the following system
M → M → M → ...,
where each arrow is multiplication by x, is isomorphic to localization Mx.

Exercise I: Show that the functor of inverse limit on the category of R-modules is left-exact in the following, strong sense. If
0 → M'i → M i → M''i
is eventually exact, then the sequence of inverse limits
0 → lim M'i → lim M i → lim M''i
is exact.
