Jun 15, 2011 at 12:27 comment added naf I think Corollary 2 of the article "Nitsure, Nitin: Representability of Hom implies flatness. Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. Math. Sci. 114 (2004), no. 1, 7–14" gives a proof in the case $A$ is noetherian. (He considers the functor on all schemes as in EGA but I think the proof should also work for the functor restricted to affine schemes.)

Dec 6, 2009 at 19:24 comment added user2035 If the canonical map Hom(N,A)⊗B → Hom(N,B) is an isomorphism for all A-algebras B, this is true in particular for A-algebras of the type A⊕T for some A-module T, so it is true for Hom(N,A)⊗T → Hom(N,T). Exactness of Hom(N,T) for variable T is equivalent to N projective.
Dec 6, 2009 at 18:20 comment added Jonathan Wise By the way, an interesting way to think of more general quasi-coherent sheaves as geometric objects is with $\mathbf{A}^1$-linear Picard stacks (and higer Picard stacks).
Dec 6, 2009 at 11:22 comment added Andrew Critch @a-fortiori, I'm not sure I understand your argument about projectivity... it seems like the arrows go the wrong way to make use of the $A\oplus B$ algebras you suggest, but maybe I'm missing something...

Dec 6, 2009 at 8:21 comment added user2035 It is not sufficient for M to have a pre-dual: V(N) represents Hom_B(N⊗B,B)=Hom(N,B), not Hom(N,A)⊗B. In fact, if Hom(N,A)⊗B=Hom(N,B), this functor is exact in the variable A-module B (consider algebras of the form B'=A⊕B with B²=0), so N is projective.
