Question
Let R be a commutative unitary ring and let M be an R-module. For every r ERlet rM =
{rx; x E M} and M, = {x E M ; rx = 0}. Show that rM and M, are submodules of
M.
Let (M;)iej be a family of submodules of an R-module M. Suppose that, for
subset J of I, there exists k eI such that (Vj e J) M, C Mg. Show that UM, and M;
every finite
iel
iel
coincide. Show that in particular this arises when I = N and the M; form an ascending
chain M, C M1 M2 C.
An R-module M is said to be simple if it has no submodules other than M and {0}.
Prove that M is simple if and only if M is generated by every non-zero x E M.
