Finite module descent through localization #
A finite module over a localized ring is obtained by extending scalars from the finite base-ring submodule generated by a chosen finite set of localized generators. Over a Noetherian base that submodule is finitely presented.
These are module-level object lifts and closure steps for one or two arrows. They do not descend a complex, a map of complexes, or a bounded-coherent semiorthogonal component.
A finite module over a localization has a finite base-ring submodule whose scalar extension is the original module.
Over a Noetherian base ring the descended finite submodule is finitely presented.
The finite descent witness can be chosen to contain any prescribed finite base-ring submodule. This permits adjoining images of a differential before descending the next term of a bounded complex.
Over a Noetherian base, the prescribed-set descent witness is finitely presented as well as finite.
A map between finite modules over a localization has finite base-ring submodules on both sides that localize back to the given modules and are closed under that map. This is the one-arrow step toward descending a bounded complex; no complex or component descent is asserted here.
Three finite modules over a localization admit finite base-ring submodules that localize back to them and are simultaneously closed under two consecutive arrows. The theorem supplies submodules and closure only. A zero-composite hypothesis on the original arrows must be supplied and checked on the restricted arrows before these data form a complex.
