Cayley-Hamilton theorem for f.g. modules. #
Given a fixed finite spanning set b : ι → M
of an R
-module M
, we say that a matrix M
represents an endomorphism f : M →ₗ[R] M
if the matrix as an endomorphism of ι → R
commutes
with f
via the projection (ι → R) →ₗ[R] M
given by b
.
We show that every endomorphism has a matrix representation, and if f.range ≤ I • ⊤
for some
ideal I
, we may furthermore obtain a matrix representation whose entries fall in I
.
This is used to conclude the Cayley-Hamilton theorem for f.g. modules over arbitrary rings.

Instances For
The Cayley-Hamilton Theorem for f.g. modules over arbitrary rings states that for each
R
-endomorphism φ
of an R
-module M
such that φ(M) ≤ I • M
for some ideal I
, there
exists some n
and some aᵢ ∈ Iⁱ
such that φⁿ + a₁ φⁿ⁻¹ + ⋯ + aₙ = 0
.
This is the version found in Eisenbud 4.3, which is slightly weaker than Matsumura 2.1
(this lacks the constraint on n
), and is slightly stronger than Atiyah-Macdonald 2.4.
