I am reading T. S. Blyth's book: Module Theory: An Approach to Linear Algebra ...

I am focused on Chapter 2: Submodules; intersections and sums ... and need help with the proof of Theorem 2.3 ...

Theorem 2.3 reads as follows:View attachment 8157In the above proof we read the following:

" ... ... A linear combination of elements of $$\bigcup_{ i \in I }$$ is precisely a sum of the form $$\sum_{ j \in J } m_j$$ for some $$J \in P(I).$$ ... ... "But ... Blyth defines a linear combination as in the text below ...https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/8158So ... given the above definition wouldn't a linear combination of elements of $$\bigcup_{ i \in I } M_i$$ be a sum of the form $$\sum_{ j \in J } \lambda_j m_j$$ ... and not just $$\sum_{ j \in J } m_j$$ ... ... ?
Hope someone can help ...

Hint: if $m \in M$ and $M$ is a module, then also $\lambda m \in M$, for $\lambda \in R$.

Thus $\Sigma_{j \in J} \lambda_j m'_j = \Sigma_{j \in J} m_j $ for $m_j = \lambda_j m'_j \in M_j$

However, the set $S$ used above, is not a module ...
 
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...
