Proposition 10.89.3. Let $M$ be an $R$-module. The following are equivalent:

  1. $M$ is finitely presented.

  2. For every family $(Q_{\alpha })_{\alpha \in A}$ of $R$-modules, the canonical map $M \otimes _ R \left( \prod _{\alpha } Q_{\alpha } \right) \to \prod _{\alpha } (M \otimes _ R Q_{\alpha })$ is bijective.

  3. For every $R$-module $Q$ and every set $A$, the canonical map $M \otimes _ R Q^{A} \to (M \otimes _ R Q)^{A}$ is bijective.

  4. For every set $A$, the canonical map $M \otimes _ R R^{A} \to M^{A}$ is bijective.

Proof. First we prove (1) implies (2). Choose a presentation $R^ m \to R^ n \to M$ and consider the commutative diagram

\[ \xymatrix{ R^ m \otimes _ R (\prod _{\alpha } Q_{\alpha }) \ar[r] \ar[d]^{\cong } & R^ n \otimes _ R (\prod _{\alpha } Q_{\alpha }) \ar[r] \ar[d]^{\cong } & M \otimes _ R (\prod _{\alpha } Q_{\alpha }) \ar[r] \ar[d] & 0 \\ \prod _{\alpha } (R^ m \otimes _ R Q_{\alpha }) \ar[r] & \prod _{\alpha } (R^ n \otimes _ R Q_{\alpha }) \ar[r] & \prod _{\alpha } (M \otimes _ R Q_{\alpha }) \ar[r] & 0. } \]

The first two vertical arrows are isomorphisms and the rows are exact. This implies that the map $M \otimes _ R (\prod _{\alpha } Q_{\alpha }) \to \prod _{\alpha } ( M \otimes _ R Q_{\alpha })$ is surjective and, by a diagram chase, also injective. Hence (2) holds.

Obviously (2) implies (3) implies (4), so it remains to prove (4) implies (1). From Proposition 10.89.2, if (4) holds we already know that $M$ is finitely generated. So we can choose a surjection $F \to M$ where $F$ is free and finite. Let $K$ be the kernel. We must show $K$ is finitely generated. For any set $A$, we have a commutative diagram

\[ \xymatrix{ & K \otimes _ R R^ A \ar[r] \ar[d]_{f_3} & F \otimes _ R R^ A \ar[r] \ar[d]_{f_2}^{\cong } & M \otimes _ R R^ A \ar[r] \ar[d]_{f_1}^{\cong } & 0 \\ 0 \ar[r] & K^ A \ar[r] & F^ A \ar[r] & M^ A \ar[r] & 0 . } \]

The map $f_1$ is an isomorphism by assumption, the map $f_2$ is a isomorphism since $F$ is free and finite, and the rows are exact. A diagram chase shows that $f_3$ is surjective, hence by Proposition 10.89.2 we get that $K$ is finitely generated. $\square$

Details on the diagram chasing parts: (1) (2) comes from a four lemma (2 injective 1 surjective version). It shows the map is injective, and surjectivity follows from finite generation. (4) (1) comes from the snake lemma: we have the SES , and since , are isomorphisms, the kernel or cokernel is , so the cokernel of is 0, which means it's surjective.
