This is a problem that I thought at first was obvious but that became less clear the more I thought about it. Assume we have a finitely generated algebra $A$ over a field $k$, and a short exact ...

Let $A$ be a commutative ring with unit and let $P$ be a projective $A$-module finitely generated. By definition, there exists an $A$-module $P'$ such that $P\oplus P'$ is free of finite rank $r$. If $...

Let $A$ be a commutative ring with unit. A non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form $\phi$ on a finitely generated projective $A$-module $P$ is called metabolic if there is a direct summand $L$ of $P$ ...
