Sep 10, 2013 at 9:38 comment added Martin Brandenburg I don't understand. The image of $\alpha$ cannot be $1$-dimensional.
Sep 6, 2013 at 4:51 comment added Tyler Lawson @Martin, I was too casual. The kernel of $\beta$ consists of all elements in the product which are annihilated by all $x_j$, and thus consists of the product over $j$ of the kernel $I$ of $B/(x_1) \to k$ (and in the other case, the product of $A \otimes I$). The map $\alpha$ annihilates all $x_j$, and so its image is a one-dimensional vector space $k$ (respectively image $A$). So what I should really say is that $A\otimes \prod I \to \prod A \otimes I$ is not an isomorphism.
Sep 5, 2013 at 8:56 comment added Martin Brandenburg Thank you. The complex which computes $\mathrm{Ext}^2$ is $B/(x_1) \xrightarrow{\alpha} \prod_i B/(x_1) \xrightarrow{\beta} \prod_{ij} B/(x_1)$, where $\alpha([b])=([b x_i])_i$ and $\beta(([a_i])_i)=([x_j a_i])_{ij}$, right? Why do we get $\prod_i k$?
