Exact sequences with free modules

This file proves results about linear independence and span in exact sequences of modules.

Main theorems

• linearIndependent_shortExact: Given a short exact sequence 0 ⟶ X₁ ⟶ X₂ ⟶ X₃ ⟶ 0 of R-modules and linearly independent families v : ι → X₁ and w : ι' → X₃, we get a linearly independent family ι ⊕ ι' → X₂
• span_rightExact: Given an exact sequence X₁ ⟶ X₂ ⟶ X₃ ⟶ 0 of R-modules and spanning families v : ι → X₁ and w : ι' → X₃, we get a spanning family ι ⊕ ι' → X₂
• Using linearIndependent_shortExact and span_rightExact, we prove free_shortExact: In a short exact sequence 0 ⟶ X₁ ⟶ X₂ ⟶ X₃ ⟶ 0 where X₁ and X₃ are free, X₂ is free as well.

         v|     u|     w|
          ι  → ι ⊕ ι' ← ι'

where the top row is an exact sequence of modules and the maps on the bottom are Sum.inl and Sum.inr. If u is injective and v and w are linearly independent, then u is linearly independent.

Given a short exact sequence 0 ⟶ X₁ ⟶ X₂ ⟶ X₃ ⟶ 0 of R-modules and linearly independent families v : ι → N and w : ι' → P, we get a linearly independent family ι ⊕ ι' → M

theorem ModuleCat.span_exact {ι : Type u_1} {R : Type u_3} [Ring R] {S : CategoryTheory.ShortComplex (ModuleCat R)} (hS : S.Exact) {v : ι → ↑S.X₁} {β : Type u_4} {u : ι ⊕ β → ↑S.X₂} (huv : u ∘ Sum.inl = ⇑S.f ∘ v) (hv : ⊤ ≤ Submodule.span R (Set.range v)) (hw : ⊤ ≤ Submodule.span R (Set.range (⇑S.g ∘ u ∘ Sum.inr))) : ⊤ ≤ Submodule.span R (Set.range u)

 ι  → ι ⊕ ι' ← ι'

where the top row is an exact sequence of modules and the maps on the bottom are Sum.inl and Sum.inr. If v spans X₁ and w spans X₃, then u spans X₂.

Given an exact sequence X₁ ⟶ X₂ ⟶ X₃ ⟶ 0 of R-modules and spanning families v : ι → X₁ and w : ι' → X₃, we get a spanning family ι ⊕ ι' → X₂

In a short exact sequence 0 ⟶ X₁ ⟶ X₂ ⟶ X₃ ⟶ 0, given bases for X₁ and X₃ indexed by ι and ι' respectively, we get a basis for X₂ indexed by ι ⊕ ι'.
