Lemma 10.108.5. Let R be a ring. Let I \subset R be an ideal. The following are equivalent
I is pure and finitely generated,
I is generated by an idempotent,
I is pure and V(I) is open, and
R/I is a projective R-module.
Proof. If (1) holds, then I = I \cap I = I^2 by Lemma 10.108.2. Hence I is generated by an idempotent by Lemma 10.21.5. Thus (1) \Rightarrow (2). If (2) holds, then I = (e) and R = (1 - e) \oplus (e) as an R-module hence R/I is flat and I is pure and V(I) = D(1 - e) is open. Thus (2) \Rightarrow (1) + (3). Finally, assume (3). Then V(I) is open and closed, hence V(I) = D(1 - e) for some idempotent e of R, see Lemma 10.21.3. The ideal J = (e) is a pure ideal such that V(J) = V(I) hence I = J by Lemma 10.108.3. In this way we see that (3) \Rightarrow (2). By Lemma 10.78.2 we see that (4) is equivalent to the assertion that I is pure and R/I finitely presented. Moreover, R/I is finitely presented if and only if I is finitely generated, see Lemma 10.5.3. Hence (4) is equivalent to (1). \square
