Lemma 10.12.15. Let $M$ be an $R$-module. Then the $S^{-1}R$-modules $S^{-1}M$ and $S^{-1}R \otimes _ R M$ are canonically isomorphic, and the canonical isomorphism $f : S^{-1}R \otimes _ R M \to S^{-1}M$ is given by
Proof. Obviously, the map $f' : S^{-1}R \times M \to S^{-1}M$ given by $f'(a/s, m) = am/s$ is bilinear, and thus by the universal property, this map induces a unique $S^{-1}R$-module homomorphism $f : S^{-1}R \otimes _ R M \to S^{-1}M$ as in the statement of the lemma. Actually every element in $S^{-1}M$ is of the form $m/s$, $m\in M, s\in S$ and every element in $S^{-1}R \otimes _ R M$ is of the form $1/s \otimes m$. To see the latter fact, write an element in $S^{-1}R \otimes _ R M$ as
Where $m = \sum _ k {a_ k t_ k}m_ k$. Then it is obvious that $f$ is surjective, and if $f(\frac{1}{s} \otimes m) = m/s = 0$ then there exists $t'\in S$ with $tm = 0$ in $M$. Then we have
Therefore $f$ is injective. $\square$
