Lengths along extensions of local rings #

This file proves results relating lengths along extensions of local rings.

Main results #

If B/A is an extension of local rings, and if M is a B-module, then ℓ_A(M) = ℓ_B(M) * [κ(B) : κ(A)].

If B/A is a flat extension of local rings, and if M is an A-module, then ℓ_B(B ⊗[A] M) = ℓ_A(M) * ℓ_B(B ⧸ m_A).
