Lemma 42.68.34. Let A be a Noetherian local ring. Let a, b \in A. Let

0 \to M \to M' \to M'' \to 0

be a short exact sequence of A-modules of dimension 1 such that a, b are nonzerodivisors on all three A-modules. Then

d_{M'}(a, b) = d_ M(a, b) d_{M''}(a, b)

in \kappa ^*.

Proof. It is easy to see that this leads to a short exact sequence of exact (2, 1)-periodic complexes

0 \to (M/abM, a, b) \to (M'/abM', a, b) \to (M''/abM'', a, b) \to 0

Hence the lemma follows from Lemma 42.68.18. \square
