Use the relations: ( a \otimes b = a \otimes (b \bmod \gcd(m,n)) ). The result is isomorphic to ( \mathbb{Z}/\gcd(m,n)\mathbb{Z} ). The trick is to show that ( m(a\otimes b) = a\otimes (mb) = a\otimes 0 = 0 ), and similarly ( n ). Hence the tensor product is annihilated by ( \gcd(m,n) ). 11. Projective and Injective Modules (introduction) Definition: ( P ) is projective iff every surjection ( M \to P ) splits. Equivalently, ( \text{Hom}(P,-) ) is exact.

Over a non-domain (e.g., ( \mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z} )), torsion elements don’t form a submodule in general because the annihilator of a sum may be trivial. Part VI: Advanced Exercises (61–75) 10. Tensor Products (if covered in your edition) Typical Problem: Compute ( \mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z} \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z} ).

The subset of ( \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z} ) consisting of elements of order dividing ( d ) is a submodule over ( \mathbb{Z} ) only if ( d \mid n ). This connects torsion subgroups to module structure. Part II: Direct Sums and Direct Products (Problems 11–20) 3. Finite vs. Infinite Direct Sums Typical Problem: Compare ( \bigoplus_{i \in I} M_i ) (finite support) and ( \prod_{i \in I} M_i ) (all tuples).

(⇒) trivial. (⇐) Show every ( m ) writes uniquely as ( n_1 + n_2 ). Uniqueness follows from intersection zero. Then define projection maps.
