Lemma 15.55.8. Let $R$ be a ring. For every $R$-module $M$ the $R$-module $J(M)$ is injective.

Proof. Note that $J(M) \cong \prod _{\varphi \in M^\vee } R^\vee $ as an $R$-module. As the product of injective modules is injective, it suffices to show that $R^\vee $ is injective. For this we use that

\[ \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ R(N, R^\vee ) = \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _ R(N, \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}\nolimits _{\mathbf{Z}}(R, \mathbf{Q}/\mathbf{Z})) = N^\vee \]

and the fact that $(-)^\vee $ is an exact functor by Lemma 15.55.6. $\square$
