Lemma 10.40.7. Let $R$ be a ring, let $M$ be an $R$ -module, and let $m \in M$ . Then $\mathfrak p \in V(\text{Ann}(m))$ if and only if $m$ does not map to zero in $M_\mathfrak p$ .

Proof. We may replace $M$ by $Rm \subset M$ . Then (1) $\text{Ann}(m) = \text{Ann}(M)$ and (2) $m$ does not map to zero in $M_\mathfrak p$ if and only if $\mathfrak p \in \text{Supp}(M)$ . The result now follows from Lemma 10.40.5. $\square$

I think we need M to be finite here.

Note that the first step of the proof replaces $M$ by $Rm$ which is finite.

Ah yes you are right, sorry.

Replace ' $x$ ' by ' $m$ ' in the proof.
