Results for the rank of a finite flat algebra #

In this file we study a finite, flat R-algebra S and relate injectivity and bijectivity of R → S with the rank of S over R.

Main results #

The rank is positive at all stalks if and only if the induced map on prime spectra is surjective.

If S is a finite and flat R-algebra, R → S is surjective iff S ⊗[R] S → S is an isomorphism iff the rank of S is at most 1 at all primes.

If S is a finite, flat R-algebra, S is of constant rank 1 if and only if S is isomorphic to R.
