I am reading Joseph J. Rotman's book: Advanced Modern Algebra and I am currently focused on Section 6.1 Modules ...

I need some help with the proof of Theorem 6.22 (Correspondence Theorem) ... ...

Theorem 6.22 and its proof read as follows:http://mathhelpboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4921&stc=1In the above proof we read:

" ... ... Since every module is an additive abelian group, every submodule is a subgroup, and so the Correspondence Theorem for Groups, Theorem 1.82, shows that $$\phi$$ is an injection that preserves inclusions: $$S \subseteq S'$$ in $$M$$ if and only if $$S/T \subseteq S'/T$$ in $$M/T$$. ... ... "How can we deduce this straight from a Theorem on groups ... ... ? ... how do we know it automatically holds for the action of the ring $$R$$ on $$M$$ and the laws the action or scalar multiplication must follow ...

Further ... can someone indicate how the rest of the proof would read ...

Hope someone can help ...

Peter

=======================================================*** EDIT 1 ***

The above text from Rotman's Advanced Modern Algebra (AMA) references the Correspondence Theorem for Groups ... so to permit MHB readers to understand the full context of this post, I am providing the Correspondence Theorem for Groups as it reads in AMA ... as follows:View attachment 4922

The above text from Rotman's Advanced Modern Algebra (AMA) also references the Correspondence Theorem for Rings (Proposition 5.1) ... so to permit MHB readers to understand the full context of this post, I am providing the Correspondence Theorem for Rings as it reads in AMA ... as follows:View attachment 4924

Well, we already know the "group part". Namely, if $f:M \to N$ is a surjective $R$-module homomorphism, then it is (among other things) a group homomorphism (of the additive groups $(M,+)$ onto $(N,+)$).

But an $R$-module homomorphism (by definition) respects the scalar multiplication, so we have, for any submodule $M'$ of $M$, that $f(M')$ is a submodule of $N$.

Why?

Well, we know a priori that $f(M')$ is an abelian group under addition. Thus it suffices to show that for any $n \in f(M')$ and any $a \in R$ that $an \in f(M')$.

Since $M'$ is an $R$-submodule of $M$, we know that for any $m \in M'$, and any $a \in R$, that $am \in M'$. Now $n \in f(M')$, so $n = f(m')$ for some $m' \in M'$. Thus for any $a \in R$, we have $am' \in M'$.

So...$an = af(m') = f(am')$ (since $f$ is an $R$-module homomorphism)

and since $am' \in M'$, this shows $an \in f(M')$, so $f(M')$ is indeed an $R$-submodule of $N$.

I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
