For the submodule , define its subspace filtration and the quotient filtration on the quotient module byThey are compatible filtrations of a module, since multiplication by sends into and into .
In each degree, inclusion and the quotient map induceThe first map is injective: if belongs to , then . The second map is surjective by the definition of .
For exactness in the middle, a class lies in precisely when and . This means for and . Since , one also has , andConversely, every class from maps to zero in . Taking the direct sum over all degrees gives the short exact sequence of graded modulesThe maps respect the -action because they come from module homomorphisms compatible with the filtrations of a module. Consequentlyas -modules. This proves exactness of associated graded modules for induced filtrations.
Furthermore is a Noetherian ring, and is a finitely generated module. Its submodule and its quotient module are therefore finitely generated modules. Hence the induced subspace filtration and quotient filtration are both good filtrations for the order filtration.
