fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
The course introduces students to the theory of modules, one of fundamental topics of modern algebra.

At the end of the course students should be able to:
*explain basic notions (modules, homomorphisms, submodules, quotient modules, products, direct sums, tensor products);
*know the basics of the theory of projective, flat and injective modules and their structure properties;
*understand module theory as an extension of linear algebra and connections to universal algebra;
*apply module theory in geometry and topology.
Syllabus
  • Modules: modules, submodules, homomorphisms, quotient modules, products, direct sums, kernels, cokernels 2. Free and projective modules: free modules, projective modules, semisimple rings, vector spaces 3. Tensor product: tensor product and its properties 4. Flat modules: flat modules, directed colimits, Lazard's theorem, regular rings 5. Short exact sequences: short exact sequences, group Ext 6. Injective modules: injective modules, injective hull

Teaching methods
The course is offered two hours each week plus one hour of exercises. It initiates a discussion with students.
Assessment methods
Course ends by an oral exam. Presence at the course is recommended, at the exercises is obligatory. Homeworks are given but not controled.
Language of instruction
Czech
