Geometric meaning of colocalization of modules?

Let $A$ be a commutative ring and $S\subset A$ a subset. A localization of $A$ at $S$ is defined as a ring morphsim $A\to A[S^{-1}]$ which is initial with respect to inverting $S$. Similarly, a ...

modules whose every submodule is a homomorphic image

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity. Let us say that an $R$-module $M$ satisfies property $\mathcal P$ if every submodule of $M$ is a homomorphic image of $M$. Can we characterize all ...

What kind of module is this?

Recall that, if $R$ is a commutative ring, then a suitably finite $R$-module $M$ is projective if and only if the localization $M_\mathfrak{m}$ is a direct sum of finitely many copies of $R_\mathfrak{...

is every finitely n-presented (S^{-1})R-module a localization of a finitely n-presented R-module?

Let S be a multiplicative set in a ring R. We can see that every finitely generated $(S^{-1})R$-module is a localization of a finitely generated R-module. Then, more generally, is every finitely n-...
