Milnor square (source code)

= Milnor square
{c}

A cartesian square of unital <rings> $A=A_1\times_{A_0}A_2$ is a <Milnor square> when at least one map $A_i\to A_0$ is surjective. <Finitely generated projective modules> over $A$ can then be assembled from <projective modules> over the two upper <rings> together with an <isomorphism> of their reductions over $A_0$.
