Extract

The construction, for a module M over a commutative ring A (with identity) and a multiplicatively closed subset S of A, of the module of fractions S-1M is, of course, one of the most basic ideas in commutative algebra. The purpose of this note is to present a generalization which constructs, for a positive integer n and what is called a triangular subset U of An = A × A × … × A (n factors), a module U-n M of generalized fractions, a typical element of which has the form

where m∈ M and (u1, … un)∈U.
