Lemma 10.109.12. Let R be a ring. The following are equivalent
R has finite global dimension \leq n,
every finite R-module has projective dimension \leq n, and
every cyclic R-module R/I has projective dimension \leq n.
Lemma 10.109.12. Let R be a ring. The following are equivalent

every cyclic R-module R/I has projective dimension \leq n.
Proof. It is clear that (1) \Rightarrow (2) and (2) \Rightarrow (3). Assume (3). Choose a set E \subset M of generators of M. Choose a well ordering on E. For e \in E denote M_ e the submodule of M generated by the elements e' \in E with e' \leq e. Then M = \bigcup _{e \in E} M_ e. Note that for each e \in E the quotient
is either zero or generated by one element, hence has projective dimension \leq n by (3). By Lemma 10.109.11 this means that M has projective dimension \leq n. \square
