Canonical Injection into Cartesian Product of Modules
Theorem
Let $\struct {R, +_R, \times_R}$ be a ring.
Let $\struct {G, +, \circ}_R$ be the cartesian product of a sequence $\sequence {\struct {G_n, +_n, \circ_n}_R}$ of $R$-modules.
Then for each $j \in \closedint 1 n$, the canonical injection $\inj_j$ from $\struct {G_j, +_j, \circ_j}_R$ into $\struct {G, +, \circ}_R$ is a monomorphism.
Proof 1
To demonstrate that $\inj_j$ is an epimorphism, we need to show that:
- $(1): \quad \inj_j$ is an injection
- $(2): \quad \forall x, y \in G_j: \map {\inj_j} {x +_j y} = \map {\inj_j} x + \map {\inj_j} y$
- $(3): \quad \forall x_j \in G_j: \forall \lambda \in R: \map {\inj_j} {\lambda \circ_j x_j} = \lambda \circ \map {\inj_j} {x_j}$
Criteria $(1)$ and $(2)$ are a direct application of Canonical Injection is Monomorphism.
Let $x_j \in G_j$ be arbitrary.
Then we have:
\(\ds \forall x \in G_j: \forall \lambda \in R: \, \) | \(\ds \map {\inj_j} {\lambda \circ_j x_j}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \tuple {e_1, e_2, \ldots, \lambda \circ_j x_j, \ldots, e_n}\) | Definition of Canonical Injection | ||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \lambda \circ \tuple {e_1, e_2, \ldots, x_j, \ldots, e_n}\) | Definition of Cartesian Product | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \lambda \circ \map {\inj_j} {x_j}\) | Definition of Canonical Injection |
$\blacksquare$
Proof 2
$G$ can be seen as functions:
- $\ds f: A \to \bigcup_{a \mathop \in A} G_a$

Let $a \in A$.
Let $x, y \in G_a$.
Let $r \in R$.
So both $x + y \in G_a$ and $r x \in G_a$.
Let $b \in A$.

Let $b = a$.
Then:
- $\map {\map {\inj_a} {x + y} } b = x + y = \map {\map {\inj_a} x} b + \map {\map {\inj_a} y} b$
and:
- $\map {\map {\inj_a} {r x} } b = r x = r \, \map {\map {\inj_a} x} b$
$\Box$
Case 2
Let $b \ne a$.
Then:
- $\map {\map {\inj_a} {x + y} } b = 0 + 0 = \map {\map {\inj_a} x} b + \map {\map {\inj_a} y} b$
and:
- $\map {\map {\inj_a} {r x} } b = 0 = \map r 0 = r \, \map {\map {\inj_a} x} b$
Therefore:
- $\map {\inj_a} {x + y} = \map {\inj_a} x + \map {\inj_a} y$
and:
- $\map {\inj_a} {r x} = r \, \map {\inj_a} x$
$\Box$
So $\inj_a$ is a homomorphism.
Combined with Canonical Injection is Injection gives that $\inj_a$ is a monomorphism.
