a direct product of
R
-modules is injective iff each one is injective but I need an example to show that the direct sum of injective modules need not be injective.
the
Bass-Papp Theorem
asserts that a commutative ring
R
is Noetherian iff every direct sum of injective
R
-modules is injective. Thus every non-Noetherian ring carries a counterexample.
if
I1⊊I2⊊…⊊In⊊…
is an infinite properly ascending chain of ideals of R, then for all n let En=E(R/In) be the injective envelope of R/In
, and let
E=⨁∞n=1En
. Then
E
is a direct sum of injective modules and that
E
is not itself injective.
How to show that E is not injective???
