Lemma 10.62.7. Let R be a Noetherian ring. Let 0 \to M' \to M \to M'' \to 0 be a short exact sequence of finite R-modules. Then \max \{ \dim (\text{Supp}(M')), \dim (\text{Supp}(M''))\} = \dim (\text{Supp}(M)).

Proof. If R is local, this follows immediately from Lemmas 10.62.6 and 10.59.10. A more elementary argument, which works also if R is not local, is to use that \text{Supp}(M'), \text{Supp}(M''), and \text{Supp}(M) are closed (Lemma 10.40.5) and that \text{Supp}(M) = \text{Supp}(M') \cup \text{Supp}(M'') (Lemma 10.40.9). \square
