| | Projective and Injective Modules (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) |
 | | Modules, or unitary modules, can act as objects in a category, with r module homomorphisms acting as morphisms. |
 | | A module p is projective if, for any pair of modules a and b, and any epimorphism f from a onto b, and any homomorphism g from p into b, there is at least one homomorphism h from p into a such that hf = g. |
 | | A module j is injective if, for any pair of modules a and b, and any monomorphism f from a to b, and any homomorphism g from a to j, there is at least one homomorphism h from b to j such that fh = g. |
