Degree of a finitely generated torsion-free module over a Dedekind domain (Lec 22, Lemma 34 setting).
Instances For
The degree of a torsion-free module is an isomorphism invariant.
Base case of degree additivity: if M'/N has length one (a simple
extension), then deg M' = deg N + 1.
Inductive step ingredient: given N ⊆ M' with quotient of torsion
length n + 1, there exists an intermediate N ≤ N' ⊆ M' such that
N'/N has length one and M'/N' has torsion length n.

Helper: the torsion property transfers along a linear equivalence.
Induction predicate for Lemma 34: for any submodule N ⊆ M' with
torsion quotient of length k, the degrees differ by k.
Instances For
Induction on length: the predicate P_lemma34 holds for every
k.
Submodule version of Lemma 34: for N ⊆ M' torsion-free with
M'/N torsion of length k, the degrees satisfy
deg M' = deg N + k.
Lec 22, Lemma 34 (degree additivity): for a short exact sequence
0 → E → E' → T → 0 of finite modules over a Dedekind domain R,
with E, E' torsion-free and T torsion of finite length,
deg E' = deg E + length(T).
