Feb 7, 2013 at 11:42 comment added tj_ Are you sure it has been downvoted ? The last time I looked in, your answer had 1pt - now it has 3pts.
Feb 7, 2013 at 10:57 comment added Martin Brandenburg Hm, I wonder why my answer has been downvoted. It contains a correct proof, right?
Feb 7, 2013 at 2:31 comment added Tom Goodwillie Oh, I didn't understand.
Feb 6, 2013 at 13:57 comment added Martin Brandenburg @Tom: Sure, but the condition follows from the criterion mentioned by TJ. I've added the proof.
Feb 6, 2013 at 13:56 comment added Torsten Schoeneberg One surely has to be careful as a priori the maps $i_j$ are not homomorphisms, but under the given criterion they are; maybe one also has to extend $1, s$ once to a left and once to a right basis, and then check Bourbaki, Algebra ch. II §3 no. 7 cor. 1 and following remarks to see that what Martin writes in his first comment is true after making a left-/right-distinction.

Feb 6, 2013 at 1:52 comment added Tom Goodwillie Martin, pushouts in Ring are not given by tensor product as in CommRing.
Feb 6, 2013 at 1:41 comment added Martin Brandenburg I use the following elementary fact: If $M$ is a free $R$-module and $m,n$ are part of a basis such that $m \otimes n = n \otimes m$ in $M \otimes_R N$, then $m=n$.
Feb 6, 2013 at 0:48 comment added tj_ I don't understand which contradiction you obtain. Could you please give some more details. Thanks.
