In abstract algebra, Kaplansky's theorem on projective modules, first proven by Irving Kaplansky, states that a projective module over a local ring is free;[1] where a not-necessarily-commutative ring is called local if for each element x, either x or 1 − x is a unit element.[2] The theorem can also be formulated so to characterize a local ring (#Characterization of a local ring).
For a finite projective module over a commutative local ring, the theorem is an easy consequence of Nakayama's lemma.[3] For the general case, the proof (both the original as well as later one) consists of the following two steps:
- Observe that a projective module over an arbitrary ring is a direct sum of countably generated projective modules.
- Show that a countably generated projective module over a local ring is free (by a " of the proof of Nakayama's lemma"[4]).
The idea of the proof of the theorem was also later used by Hyman Bass to show big projective modules (under some mild conditions) are free.[5] According to (Anderson & Fuller 1992), Kaplansky's theorem "is very likely the inspiration for a major portion of the results" in the theory of semiperfect rings.[1]
Proof
The proof of the theorem is based on two lemmas, both of which concern decompositions of modules and are of independent general interest.
Lemma 1 — [6] Let denote the family of modules that are direct sums of some countably generated submodules (here modules can be those over a ring, a group or even a set of endomorphisms). If is in , then each direct summand of is also in .
Proof: Let N be a direct summand; i.e., . Using the assumption, we write where each is a countably generated submodule. For each subset , we write the image of under the projection and the same way. Now, consider the set of all triples (, , ) consisting of a subset and subsets such that and are the direct sums of the modules in . We give this set a partial ordering such that if and only if , . By Zorn's lemma, the set contains a maximal element . We shall show that ; i.e., . Suppose otherwise. Then we can inductively construct a sequence of at most countable subsets such that and for each integer ,
- .
Let and . We claim:
The inclusion is trivial. Conversely, is the image of and so . The same is also true for . Hence, the claim is valid.
Now, is a direct summand of (since it is a summand of , which is a summand of
