I am reading An Introduction to Rings and Modules With K-Theory in View by A.J. Berrick and M.E. Keating (B&K).

I need help with Exercise 1.2.12 ...

Exercise 1.2.12 reads as follows:

Can someone please help me to get started on this problem ...

Help will be much appreciated ...

You have to show two things:

1) If $N'$ is a submodule of $M$ such that $M_i \subseteq N'$ for all $i \in I$, that $N \subseteq N'$.

2) If $L'$ is a submodule of $M$ such that $L' \subseteq M_i$ for all $i \in I$, that $L' \subseteq L$.

The second property is well-nigh obvious, if $L' \subseteq M_i$ for each $i$, it is surely in $\bigcap\limits_i M_i$, by the definition of intersection.

Of course, it may help to prove that $\bigcap\limits_i M_i$ is indeed a submodule of $M$.

Number 1) is a little trickier, you may wish to show instead that $N$ is the smallest submodule of $M$ containing the set:

$\bigcup\limits_i M_i$ hint: use the closure of module addition.
 
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...
