Finite morphism: Difference between revisions

This article defines a property that can be evaluated for a homomorphism of commutative unital rings

Suppose $R$ and $S$ are commutative unital rings and $f : R \to S$ is a homomorphism of commutative unital rings. This makes $S$ naturally into a $R$ -module. Then, $f$ is termed finite if $S$ is a finitely generated module over $R$ .

When the morphism is injective, we say that $S$ is a finite extension of $R$ .
