Quotient module and submodule.

1.4k Views Asked by At

Set $M$ as an $R$-module, where $R$ is a PID, then if any quotient module of M can be seen as a submodule of M? It seems not always true, and could you give me a counterexample? Thank you!

Did you mean to ask if any quotient module can be seen as submodule?

Not in general: $\mathbb{Z}$ has $\mathbb{Z}/(2)$ as a $Z$-module (abelian group) quotient, but the latter is not a subgroup of $\mathbb{Z}$.
