Mar 29, 2017 at 7:08 comment added Dan Petersen Even for not-so-weird localizations, you don't get an open subset. E.g. $\mathbb Q$ is a localization of $\mathbb Z$...
Mar 29, 2017 at 6:58 comment added Will Chen Ah! So the issue is with weird non-finite type localizations... Thanks!
Mar 29, 2017 at 5:24 comment added Dan Petersen @oxeimon $\mathrm{Spec}\, S^{-1}A$ is not necessarily an open subset of $\mathrm{Spec}\,A$!
Mar 28, 2017 at 22:44 comment added Will Chen So in Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry, in Lemma III.6.1, he says that if $X$ is a ringed space, and $U\subset X$ open, then if $I$ is an injective object of $Mod(X)$, then $I|_U$ is an injective object of $Mod(U)$. I'm confused about how this doesn't contradict your answer here. Doesn't Hartshorne's Lemma 6.1 say that localization of injectives are injective?
Sep 8, 2013 at 18:52 comment added Dan Petersen Yes, that's obvious. If M is a direct summand of the free module F, then $S^{-1}M$ is a direct summand of the free module $S^{-1}F$.
Sep 8, 2013 at 14:34 comment added user39070 I have no access to Rotman's book now. But thanks anyway. What about when $M$ is projective ? Does it mean $S^{-1}M$ would be projective ?
Sep 8, 2013 at 14:19 comment added Dan Petersen The second edition of Rotman's book gives a correct proof in the noetherian case.

Sep 8, 2013 at 14:12 comment added user39070 It says (Everett's paper) the problem is true when $R$ is Noetherian. Do you know a reference ?
Sep 8, 2013 at 14:04 comment added user39070 Thanks. Do you know any other example ? (other that Everett's paper)
