Assume that $R$ is a commutative ring and that $M$ is a (left) $R$-module. Assume also that we know for some reason that $M^*:=mathsfHom_R(M,R)$ is finitely generated and projective as (right) $R$-module. Can we claim that $M$ itself is finitely generated and projective?



It is well-known that the converse is true, but I am able neither to prove nor to disprove the foregoing implication.



Of course, $M^**$ is finitely generated and projective, but in general the canonical morphism $j:Mto M^**$ is not injective, whence I don't know how to use this fact. Can somebody give me a hint, either in proving the statement or in finding a counterexample?

          $begingroup$

          If $operatornameHom_R(M,R)=M^*$ is finitely generated and projective, then $R^ncong M^*oplus N$, so we have
          $$
          M^**oplus N^*cong R^n
          $$

          so $M^**$ is finitely generated and projective. Unfortunately, the canonical homomorphism $Mto M^**$ is neither injective nor surjective, in general.



          A trivial example is $M=mathbbQ$, with $R=mathbbZ$. You can complicate the situation at will.



          Just to give the flavor, suppose $R$ is a PID and that $M$ is finitely generated. Then $M^*$ is finitely generated and free: you lose all information about the torsion part, when doing the dual.

            Thanks egreg but I am afraid I didn't get your point. Why $mathbbQ^*$ should be finitely generated and projective as $mathbbZ$-module? If I am not mistaken, an element in $mathbbQ^*$ is uniquely determined by its images over the rationals of the form $frac1p$ for $p$ prime, isn't it?
