About dual of finitely generated projective module












0












$begingroup$



Let $M$ be a finitely generated projective module, $x in M$ and $x neq 0$. Then is it true that there is $g in M^*$ such that $gx neq 0$?




If yes how to prove it? For vector space dual this result is true, but what about projective module?




Also if $f in M^*$, $f neq 0$ then $fy neq 0$ is also true or not ?

          The answer to your first question is yes, since finitely generated projective modules are reflexive (see here), meaning that the canonical injective map $Mto M^{**}$ is an isomorphism. Hence if $xneq 0$, then $xneq 0in M^{**}$, so there is $gin M^*$ such that $gx=langle g, xrangleneq 0$.



          I don't know what is $y$ in your second question. If you means there exists such an $y$, then it's true by definition of $fneq 0$.
