May 19, 2011 at 13:37 comment added shenghao Similarly, a coherent sheaf $F$ on a complex manifold $X$ is flat if and only if for every $x\in X,$ the stalk $F_x$ is a flat $O_x$-module. As $O_x$ is Noetherian local (cf. Gunning's books), flat=free. And $F_x$ free over $O_x$ implies that $F$ is locally free (see Hartshorne II ex. 5.7 for an algebraic counterpart, and mimic its proof). So a coherent sheaf $F$ being flat if and only if it's locally free (I could be wrong though...).
May 19, 2011 at 6:13 comment added HKSHLZW thank you very much ! And how to determine the flatness of a giving coherent sheaf in general , does there exist some kind of obstruction ?
May 18, 2011 at 13:38 comment added shenghao To check that locally free coherent sheaves are flat (as answered by Ottem), one can pass to stalks.
