Flat modules #

A module M over a commutative ring R is flat if for all finitely generated ideals I of R, the canonical map I ⊗ M →ₗ M is injective.

This is equivalent to the claim that for all injective R-linear maps f : M₁ → M₂ the induced map M₁ ⊗ M → M₂ ⊗ M is injective. See https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/00HD.

Main declaration #

Module.Flat: the predicate asserting that an R-module M is flat.

Main theorems #

Module.Flat.of_retract: retracts of flat modules are flat
Module.Flat.of_linearEquiv: modules linearly equivalent to a flat modules are flat
Module.Flat.directSum: arbitrary direct sums of flat modules are flat
Module.Flat.of_free: free modules are flat
Module.Flat.of_projective: projective modules are flat
Module.Flat.preserves_injective_linearMap: If M is a flat module then tensoring with M preserves injectivity of linear maps. This lemma is fully universally polymorphic in all arguments, i.e. R, M and linear maps N → N' can all have different universe levels.
Module.Flat.iff_rTensor_preserves_injective_linearMap: a module is flat iff tensoring preserves injectivity in the ring's universe (or higher).

Implementation notes #

In Module.Flat.iff_rTensor_preserves_injective_linearMap, we require that the universe level of the ring is lower than or equal to that of the module. This requirement is to make sure ideals of the ring can be lifted to the universe of the module. It is unclear if this lemma also holds when the module lives in a lower universe.

TODO #

Generalize flatness to noncommutative rings.
