= Tensor-nilpotent module

An $R$-module $M$ is tensor-nilpotent when $M^{\otimes k}=0$ for some positive integer $k$. A nonzero finitely generated module cannot be tensor-nilpotent: localize at a maximal ideal in its support and reduce modulo that maximal ideal, obtaining a nonzero tensor power of a nonzero vector space.
