Problem based on Projective and Injective Module

171 Views Asked by At

Show that the following are equivalent for a ring:

(1) any $R$-module is projective.

(2) any $R$-module is injective

This is problem in Dummit Foote book, problem number 6, page 403. I was trying by using equivalent definition of projective and injective module but nothing find effective.Any help/hint in this regards would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A module $M$ is projective iff every short exact sequence $$0\to A\to B\to M\to0$$ splits. So all modules are projective iff every short exact sequence splits. So what about injectivity instead of projectivity ?
