I am reading J A Beachy's Book, Introductory Lectures on Rings and Modules"... ...

I am currently focused on Chapter 2: Modules ... and in particular Section 2.4: Chain Conditions ...

I need help with the proof of Proposition 2.4.5 ...Proposition 2.4.5 reads as follows:
View attachment 6041

In the above text by Beachy ... in the proof of part (a) ... we read the following:"... ... ... Conversely, assume that $$N$$ and $$M/N$$ are Noetherian, and let $$M_0$$ be a submodule of $$M$$. Then $$M_0 \cap N$$ and $$M_0 / ( M_0 \cap N ) \cong (M_0 + N) / N$$ are both finitely generated, so $$M_0$$ is finitely generated ... ... ... "

I am very unsure of this part of the proof ... but overall Beachy seems to be trying to prove that an arbitrary submodule of $$M$$, namely $$M_0$$, is finitely generated ... ... and this means that M is Noetherian ... (Beachy, in his Proposition 2.4.3 has shown that every submodule of $$M$$ being finitely generated is equivalent to M being Noetherian ... ... )BUT ... I do not see how it follows in the above that ... ... $$M_0 \cap N$$ and $$M_0 / ( M_0 \cap N ) \cong (M_0 + N) / N$$ are both finitely generated ... ... AND ... exactly why it then follows that $$M_0$$ is finitely generated ... ...
Hope someone can help ...

the following is begin used:

Let $M$ be an $R$-module and $S$ be a submodule of $M$. Suppose $S$ and $M/S$ are both finitely generated. Then $M$ to is finitely generated.

This is easy to show. Let $\{s_1, \ldots, s_k\}$ be a generating set of $S$ and $\{\bar m_1, \ldots, \bar m_l\}$ be a generating set for $M/S$. Then $\{s_1, \ldots, s_k, m_1, \ldots, m_l\}$ is a generating set for $M$ (why?)

Can you see how this shows that $M_0$ is finitely generated?

Hi caffeinemachine ... thanks fpr the reply ...

You write:

"... ... This is easy to show. Let $\{s_1, \ldots, s_k\}$ be a generating set of $S$ and $\{\bar m_1, \ldots, \bar m_l\}$ be a generating set for $M/S$. Then $\{s_1, \ldots, s_k, m_1, \ldots, m_l\}$ is a generating set for $M$ (why?) ... ... I cannot see why this follows ... can you help further ...

Let $m$ be arbitrarily chosen in $M$. Then there exist $r_1, \dots, r_l\in R$ such that $\bar m= r_1\bar m_1+\cdots +r_l\bar m_l$. Thus $m-(r_1m_1+\cdots+r_lm_l)\in S$. So there are $a_1, \ldots, a_k\in S$ such that
$$m-(r_1m_1+\cdots+r_lm_l)= a_1s_1+\cdots +a_ks_k$$
This gives
$$m = r_1m_1+\cdots+r_lm_l + a_1s_1+\cdots +a_ks_k$$
Is this clear now?

Yes, thanks caffeinemachine ... appreciate your help ...

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...
