Flat algebras and flat ring homomorphisms #

We define flat algebras and flat ring homomorphisms.

Main definitions #

source
class Algebra.Flat (R : Type u) (S : Type v) [CommRing R] [CommRing S] [Algebra R S] :
Prop

An R-algebra S is flat if it is flat as R-module.

Instances

    instance Algebra.Flat.self (R : Type u) [CommRing R] :
    Algebra.Flat R R

    theorem Algebra.Flat.comp (R : Type u) (S : Type v) [CommRing R] [CommRing S] (T : Type w) [CommRing T] [Algebra R S] [Algebra R T] [Algebra S T] [IsScalarTower R S T] [Algebra.Flat R S] [Algebra.Flat S T] :
    Algebra.Flat R T

    Alias of Algebra.Flat.trans.

    If T is a flat S-algebra and S is a flat R-algebra, then T is a flat R-algebra.
