Let R be a commutative, Noetherian, local ring and M an R-module. Consider the module of homomorphisms HomR(R/\mathfraka,M/\mathfrakb M) where \mathfrakb⊆\mathfraka are parameter ideals of M. When M=R and R is Cohen-Macaulay, Rees showed that this module of homomorphisms is always isomorphic to R/\mathfraka, and in particular, a free module over R/\mathfraka of rank one. In this work, we study the structure of such modules of homomorphisms for general M.
