Inequality amongst projective dimensions!?

124 Views Asked by At

Assume $φ : R\to S$ is a ring homomorphism between commutative rings sending unity to unity. Taking any $S$-module $M$ as an $R$-module, is it true that always $$\operatorname{pd}_R (M)\le \operatorname{pd}_R (S)+\operatorname{pd}_S (M)?$$ (Here by $\operatorname{pd}$ I mean projective dimension.)
