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 />
