Add results on tensor products and slice categories
Expanded the section on tensor products of algebras with a full proof and corollary for quotient algebras, including the isomorphism between A/IA and A ⊗_R (R/I). In category theory, added results and proofs about limits and colimits in slice categories, initial and terminal objects, completeness and cocompleteness, and a proposition on fibered products and coproducts with explicit isomorphisms and proofs.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $A$, $B$ be $R$-algebras. The \textbf{tensor product of $R$-algebras $A$ and $B$} is defined by the following universal property: for any triple $(C, f_A, f_B)$, where $C$ is an $R$-algebra and $f_A:A\to C$, $f_B:B\to C$ are $R$-algebra homomorphisms which satisfy

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $A_1$, $A_2$ be $R$-algebras. Let $I_1\subseteq A_1$, $I_2\subseteq A_2$ be two-sided ideals of $A_1$, $A_2$ respectively. Then we have an $R$-algebra isomorphism
201+
\begin{align*}
202+
(A_1/I_1)\otimes_R (A_2/I_2) &\xlongrightarrow{\sim}(A_1\otimes_R A_2)/(I_1\otimes_R A_2 + A_1\otimes_R I_2)\\
203+
\overline{a_1}\otimes \overline{a_2} &\longmapsto \overline{a_1\otimes a_2}
204+
\end{align*}
205+
Here, given inclusion $i_1: I_1\hookrightarrow A_1$, the $R$-module $I_1\otimes_R A_2$ is identified as the image of $i_1\otimes_R \mathrm{id}_{A_2}:I_1\otimes_R A_2 \to A_1\otimes_R A_2$

which is a two-sided ideal of $A_1\otimes_R A_2$. The similar identification applies to $A_1\otimes_R I_2$.
205210
\end{proposition}
211+
\begin{prf}
212+
Let $J:=I_1\otimes_R A_2 + A_1\otimes_R I_2$. Define
213+
\begin{align*}
214+
\iota_1: A_1/I_1 &\longrightarrow (A_1\otimes_R A_2)/J\\
215+
a_1 + I_1 &\longmapsto (a_1\otimes 1_{A_2}) + J,
216+
\end{align*}
217+
If $a_1, a_1'\in A_1$ satisfy $a_1-a_1'\in I_1$, then
218+
\[
219+
(a_1\otimes 1_{A_2}) - (a_1'\otimes 1_{A_2}) = (a_1 - a_1')\otimes 1_{A_2} \in I_1\otimes_R A_2 \subseteq J\implies (a_1\otimes 1_{A_2}) + J = (a_1'\otimes 1_{A_2}) + J,
220+
\]
221+
which shows that $\iota_1$ is well-defined. And we can check that $\iota_1$ is an $R$-algebra homomorphism. Similarly, we can define an $R$-algebra homomorphism
222+
\begin{align*}
223+
\iota_2: A_2/I_2 &\longrightarrow (A_1\otimes_R A_2)/J\\
224+
a_2 + I_2 &\longmapsto (1_{A_1}\otimes a_2) + J.
225+
\end{align*}
226+
Moreover, the images of $\iota_1$ and $\iota_2$ commute in $(A_1\otimes_R A_2)/J$: for any $a_1\in A_1$, $a_2\in A_2$,
227+
\begin{align*}
228+
\iota_1(a_1 + I_1)\iota_2(a_2 + I_2) &= \left((a_1\otimes 1_{A_2}) + J\right)\left((1_{A_1}\otimes a_2) + J\right)\\
229+
&= (a_1\otimes a_2) + J\\
230+
&= \left((1_{A_1}\otimes a_2) + J\right)\left((a_1\otimes 1_{A_2}) + J\right) \\
231+
&= \iota_2(a_2 + I_2)\iota_1(a_1 + I_1).
232+
\end{align*}
233+
Thus by the \hyperref[th:tensor_product_of_algebras]{universal property of tensor product}, there exists a unique $R$-algebra homomorphism
234+
\begin{align*}
235+
\varphi: (A_1/I_1)\otimes_R (A_2/I_2) &\longrightarrow (A_1\otimes_R A_2)/J\\
236+
(a_1 + I_1)\otimes (a_2 + I_2) &\longmapsto (a_1\otimes a_2) + J.
237+
\end{align*}
238+
Next, we construct the inverse of $\varphi$. Given the quotient maps $\pi_1:A_1\to A_1/I_1$ and $\pi_2:A_2\to A_2/I_2$, we can define an $R$-algebra homomorphism $\psi:=\pi_1\otimes_R \pi_2$ as
239+
\begin{align*}
240+
\psi: A_1\otimes_R A_2 &\longrightarrow (A_1/I_1)\otimes_R (A_2/I_2)\\
241+
a_1\otimes a_2 &\longmapsto (a_1 + I_1)\otimes (a_2 + I_2).
242+
\end{align*}
243+
Since for any $x\in I_1$, $y\in A_2$, we have
244+
\[
245+
\psi(x\otimes y)=(0 + I_1)\otimes (y + I_2)=0
246+
\]
247+
and for any $x\in A_1$, $y\in I_2$, we have
248+
\[
249+
\psi(x\otimes y)=(x + I_1)\otimes (0 + I_2)=0,
250+
\]
251+
we have $J\subseteq \ker(\psi)$. Thus, by the universal property of quotient algebra, there exists a unique $R$-algebra homomorphism
252+
\begin{align*}
253+
\widetilde{\psi}: (A_1\otimes_R A_2)/J &\longrightarrow (A_1/I_1)\otimes_R (A_2/I_2)\\
254+
(a_1\otimes a_2) + J &\longmapsto (a_1 + I_1)\otimes (a_2 + I_2).
255+
\end{align*}
256+
We can check that $\widetilde{\psi}$ is the inverse of $\varphi$:
257+
\begin{align*}
258+
\widetilde{\psi}\circ \varphi\left((a_1 + I_1)\otimes (a_2 + I_2)\right) &= \widetilde{\psi}\left((a_1\otimes a_2) + J\right) = (a_1 + I_1)\otimes (a_2 + I_2),\\
259+
\varphi\circ \widetilde{\psi}\left((a_1\otimes a_2) + J\right) &= \varphi\left((a_1 + I_1)\otimes (a_2 + I_2)\right) = (a_1\otimes a_2) + J.
260+
\end{align*}
261+
Therefore, we show that $\varphi$ is an $R$-algebra isomorphism.
262+
\end{prf}
263+
264+
\begin{corollary}{$mod\; I$ Reduction of $R$-Algebras}{}
265+
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $I\subseteq R$ be an ideal of $R$. For any $R$-algebra $A$, there is an isomorphism of $R$-algebras
266+
\begin{align*}
267+
A/IA &\xlongrightarrow{\sim} A\otimes_R (R/I) \\
268+
\overline{a} &\longmapsto a\otimes \overline{1_R}\\
269+
\overline{ra}&\longmapsfrom a\otimes \overline{r}
270+
\end{align*}
271+
where
272+
\[
273+
IA:= \left\{ r a \in A\midv r\in I,\, a\in A\right\}
274+
\]
275+
is the two-sided ideal of $A$ generated by $I$.
276+
\end{corollary}
277+
\begin{prf}
278+
Apply \Cref{th:tensor_product_of_quotient_algebras} with $A_1=A$, $A_2=R$, $I_1=\{0\}$, $I_2=I$. We obtain an $R$-algebra isomorphism
279+
\begin{align*}
280+
A \otimes_R (R/I) &\xlongrightarrow{\sim} (A\otimes_R R)/( 0\otimes_R R+A\otimes_R I)\\
281+
a \otimes (r+I) &\longmapsto (a\otimes r) + (A\otimes_R I).
282+
\end{align*}
283+
Under the canonical isomorphism
284+
\begin{align*}
285+
\phi: A\otimes_R R &\xlongrightarrow{\sim} A\\
286+
a\otimes r &\longmapsto r a,
287+
\end{align*}
288+
$A \otimes_R I$ is mapped to $IA$. Thus we have an $R$-algebra isomorphism
289+
\begin{align*}
290+
A \otimes_R (R/I) &\xlongrightarrow{\sim} A/IA\\
291+
a \otimes (r+I) &\longmapsto r a + IA.
292+
\end{align*}
293+
