For an invertible module M over R, the natural evaluation M^∨ ⊗ M → R is an isomorphism, witnessing M as a unit in the Picard group.

The tensor product of two invertible modules is invertible (Pic is closed under multiplication).

The dual of an invertible module is invertible: this gives inverses in Pic.

R itself is invertible as an R-module, serving as the identity element of Pic.

The Picard group of R is a commutative group under tensor product (Corollary 19, Lecture 14/15).

Multiplication in the Picard group is given by tensor product of invertible modules.

The class of R is the identity element 1 of Pic(R).

The inverse in Pic of the class of M is the class of its dual M^∨.

Commutativity of Pic: the group law (tensor product) is commutative.

Two invertible modules represent the same Pic class iff they are linearly isomorphic.

An invertible module is trivial in Pic iff it is free as an R-module.
