\section{The Tensor Product}
\label{section:tensor-product}
\begin{definition}[Tensor Product]
\label{definition:tensor-product}
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $\seqf{E_j}$ be $R$ modules, then there exists a pair $(\bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j, \iota)$ such that:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j$ is an $R$-module.
\item $\iota: \prod_{j = 1}^n E_j \to \bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j$ is a $n$-linear map.
\item[(U)] For any pair $(F, \lambda)$ satisfying (1) and (2), there exists a unique $\Lambda \in \hom(\bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j; F)$ such that the following diagram commutes:
\[
\xymatrix{
\prod_{j = 1}^n E_j \ar@{->}[rd]_{\lambda} \ar@{->}[r]^{\iota} & \bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j \ar@{->}[d]^{\Lambda} \\
& F
}
\]
\item $\bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j$ is the linear span of $\iota(\prod_{j = 1}^n E_j)$.
\end{enumerate}
The module $\bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j$ is the \textbf{tensor product} of $\seqf{E_j}$, and $\iota: \prod_{j = 1}^n E_j \to \bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j$ is the \textbf{canonical embedding}. For any $(x_1, \cdots, d_n) \in \prod_{j = 1}^n E_j$, the image
\[
x_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes x_n = \iota(x_1, \cdots, x_n)
\]
is its \textbf{tensor product}.
\end{definition}
\begin{proof}
Let $M$ be the free module generated by $\prod_{j = 1}^nE_j$, and $N \subset M$ be the submodule generated by elements of the following form:
\begin{enumerate}
\item For any $1 \le j \le n$, $(x_1, \cdots, x_n) \in \prod_{k = 1}^n E_k$, and $x_j \in E_j$,
\[
(x_1, \cdots, x_j + x_j', \cdots, x_n) - (x_1, \cdots, x_j, \cdots, x_n) - (x_1, \cdots, x_j', \cdots, x_n)
\]
\item For any $(x_1, \cdots, x_n) \in \prod_{k = 1}^n E_k$ and $\alpha \in R$,
\[
(x_1, \cdots, \alpha x_j, \cdots, x_n) - \alpha(x_1, \cdots, x_n)
\]
\end{enumerate}
(1), (2): Let $\bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j = M/N$ and
\[
\iota: \prod_{j = 1}^n E_j \to \bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j \quad (x_1, \cdots, x_n) \mapsto (x_1, \cdots, x_n) + N
\]
then by definition of $N$, $\iota$ is $n$-linear.
(U): Let $(F, \lambda)$ be a pair satisfying (1) and (2), then $\lambda$ admits a unique extension to a linear map $\ol \lambda: M \to F$. Since $\lambda$ is $n$-linear, $\ker \ol \lambda \supset N$. By the first isomorphism theorem, there exists a unique $\Lambda \in \hom(\bigotimes_{j = 1}^n E_j; F)$ such that the given diagram commutes.
(4): Since $M$ is the free module generated by $\prod_{j = 1}^n E_j$, $M/N$ is generated by $\iota(\prod_{j = 1}^n E_j)$.

so $S \in \hom(B; A)$, and the diagram commutes. Since any map $f: B \to A$ is uniquely determined by its composition with the projections, $S$ is unique.
