Talk:Nakayama lemma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matsumura (Commutative Ring Theory, Cambridge, 1996) mentions that Nakayama believed that this lemma be attributed to Azumaya and Krull; Matsumura uses NAK to denote this lemma. I think this should be mentioned. Kummini 20:59, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Does a proof of the remark on coherent sheaves require NAK to prove? Take the case of an affine scheme X = SpecR for some commutative ring R, for some finitely generated R-module M and x corresponds to a prime ideal . Then the remark can be translated into the following: if and only if there exists an ideal such that . One direction is clear. Conversely, if , then there exists (since M is finitely generated). Now set I = (f). Where did we use NAK? Kummini 21:22, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
