Aug 9, 2012 at 0:45 comment added Will Sawin @Ralph: I'm not sure what you mean. (*) sounds like either the definition of locallly free or else the statement $R^n \cong I$, depending on whether the local maps could be any map or are localizations of the same map. Note than an ideal, to be locally free, must be locally free of rank one.

Aug 8, 2012 at 21:34 comment added Ralph () should be $(\ast)$.
Aug 8, 2012 at 21:33 comment added Ralph @Will: Thanks. I was thinking about the following: Suppose $I$ is locally free and assume the localization $R_P^n \to I_P$ is an isomorphism for each max. P (). Then the localization of the inclusion $j: Ext_R^1(R/I,M) \to M^n/(...)$ is an isomorphism for each max. P and hence $j$ is an isomorphism. Do you know if () can be expected for Dedekind domains or other interesting categories of rings ?
Aug 8, 2012 at 21:04 comment added Will Sawin In a Dedkenind domain, $(I^\vee \otimes M)/M=I^\vee \otimes (M/IM)=M/IM$, with the last identification non-canonical.
Aug 8, 2012 at 20:47 comment added David White Clarifying the comment in light of the edit: Will was helping Ralph discover when you can get a closed form expression for $Hom_R(I,M)$.

Improved the previous result.
Aug 8, 2012 at 20:29 comment added Will Sawin $I$ being locally free is good enough, because then there is a dual module $I^{\vee}$ such that $Hom_R(I,M)=I^{\vee} \otimes M$. This occurs, for instane, in Dedekind domains, which is one case OP was interested in.
