9.4. DECOMPOSITION OF MODULES 107<br />

9.4.2. Lemma. Let R be a noetherian ring and M a finite module. For each Pi ∈<br />

Ass(M) there is a submodule Ni ⊆ M such that Ass(Ni) = Ass(M) − {Pi} and<br />

Ass(M/Ni)) = {Pi}. M injects<br />

0 → M → <br />

M/Ni<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. The submodule Ni is given by 9.2.6. Ass(∩Ni) = ∅, so conclusion by<br />

9.2.2.<br />

9.4.3. Proposition. Let R be a noetherian ring and M a finite module. A proper<br />

submodule L ⊂ M has a reduced primary decomposition<br />

and for any such<br />

and<br />

is exact.<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. Apply 9.4.2 to M/L.<br />

L = N1 ∩ · · · ∩ Nn<br />

Ass(M/L) = {P1, . . . , Pn}<br />

0 → M/L → <br />

M/Ni<br />

9.4.4. Proposition. Let R be a noetherian ring and M a finite module. If<br />

L = N1 ∩ · · · ∩ Nn<br />

is a reduced primary decomposition <strong>of</strong> L ⊂ M and Pi is minimal in Ass(M/L),<br />

then<br />

and therefore uniquely determined.<br />

Ni = M ∩ LPi<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. Clearly Ni ⊂ M ∩ LPi . By localization Ass(M ∩ LPi /Ni) = ∅. So<br />

equality.<br />

9.4.5. Proposition. Let R be a noetherian ring and M a finite module. Let L ⊂ M<br />

such that M/L = 0 has finite length. If Ass(M/L) = {P1, . . . , Pn}, then there is<br />

a reduced primary decomposition<br />

where<br />

and an isomorphism<br />

L = N1 ∩ · · · ∩ Nn<br />

Ni = M ∩ LPi<br />

M/L <br />

M/Ni<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. This follows from 9.4.3, 9.4.4 and 9.1.6.<br />

9.4.6. Proposition. Let R be a noetherian ring and M a finite length module. If<br />

Ass(M) = {P1, . . . , Pn}, then there is a reduced primary decomposition<br />

where<br />

0 = N1 ∩ · · · ∩ Nn<br />

Ni = Pi ni M, M/Ni MPi<br />
