Abstract

Let A be an m×n matrix with entries in a Noetherian ring R, where m,n are positive integers such that mn. By M we denote the cokernel of the R-linear map RmRn defined by tA. The purpose of this paper is to give an elementary proof to the result due to Avramov (J. Algebra 73, 248–263, 1981), that characterizes the condition for M to be a module of linear type in terms of determinantal ideals of A.
