In algebra, a free presentation of a module ''M'' over a commutative ring ''R'' is an exact sequence of ''R''-modules: : Note ''g'' then maps each basis element to each generator of ''M''. In particular, if ''J'' is finite, then ''M'' is a finitely generated module. If ''I'' and ''J'' are finite sets, then the presentation is called a finite presentation; a module is called finitely presented if it admits a finite presentation. A free presentation always exists: any module is a quotient of free module: , but then the kernel of ''g'' is again a quotient of a free module: . The combination of ''f'' and ''g'' is a free presentation of ''M''. Now, one can obviously keep "resolving" the kernels in this fashion; the result is called a free resolution. Thus, a free presentation is the early part of the free resolution. A presentation is useful for computaion. For example, since tensoring is right-exact, tensoring the above presentation with a module, say, ''N'' gives: : This says that is the cokernel of . If ''N'' is an ''R''-algebra, then this is the presentation of the ''N''-module ; that is, the presentation extends under base extension. For left-exact functors, there is for example Proof: Applying ''F'' to a finite presentation results in : and the same for ''G''. Now apply the snake lemma. == See also == *coherent module *quasi-coherent sheaf *Fitting ideal *finitely-related module 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Free presentation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
