Extract

Introduction and statement of results. It is well known that if V is a vector space over a field k then its dual vector space Homk (V, k) has dimension not less than that of V, and that the dimensions are equal precisely when V is finite-dimensional. In this note we introduce a ‘dual module’ for a module over a principal ideal domain, and show that some though not all of the properties of the field case carry over.
