Lemma 10.77.3. Let R be a Noetherian ring. Let P be a finite R-module. If \mathop{\mathrm{Ext}}\nolimits ^1_ R(P, M) = 0 for every finite R-module M, then P is projective.

Proof. Choose a surjection R^{\oplus n} \to P with kernel M. Since \mathop{\mathrm{Ext}}\nolimits ^1_ R(P, M) = 0 this surjection is split and we conclude by Lemma 10.77.2. \square
