tensoring with flat module factors the kernel












1














I want to show that if $F$ is a flat $R$-module, then for any $R$-homomorphism $varphi: M rightarrow N$, we have
$$ker (1_F otimes varphi) cong F otimes ker varphi $$



The $supset$ direction is trivial. For the $subset$ direction, I use the fact that $Fotimes(-)$ preserves the injectivity of the map
$$ M /ker varphi overset{tilde{varphi}}{rightarrow} N $$
Thus if $fotimes m in ker (1_F otimes varphi)$, i.e. $fotimes [m]$ mapped to $0$ under $1_F otimes tilde{varphi}$, we have $fotimes [m] =0$. This suggests me to complete the proof by showing
$$ Fotimes frac{M}{kervarphi} cong frac{Fotimes M}{Fotimes kervarphi} $$
Is this relation true? It seems very plausible for me that $fotimes[m] mapsto [fotimes m]$ gives the isomorphism. But I struggle at the injectivity part of the proof.

          Since $F$ is flat, tensoring with it preserves exactness of all exact sequences; from
          $$
          0toker fto Mxrightarrow{f} N to operatorname{coker}fto 0
          $$

          you get the exact sequence
          $$
          0to Fotimesker fto Fotimes Mxrightarrow{1_Fotimes f} Fotimes N to Fotimesoperatorname{coker}fto 0
          $$

          which is (isomorphic to) the standard kernel-cokernel sequence for $1_Fotimes f$. Hence
          $$
          ker(1_Fotimes f)cong Fotimesker f
          $$

          • @zudumazics You're basically trying to prove it in the same fashion, considering instead the two exact sequences $0toker fto Mto M/ker fto 0$ and $0to M/ker fto Ntooperatorname{coker}fto0$ (where $operatorname{coker}f=N/operatorname{im}f$).
