Flatness over regular local rings of dimension 3

Let $R$ be a regular local ring of dimension $n$. Let $i:\text{Flat}\to\text{Fin}$ be the fully faithful inclusion of the category of flat finitely generated type $R$-modules into all finitely ...

Separability of $\mathbb{C}[x]$ over its $\mathbb{C}$-subalgebras

For commutative rings $R \subseteq S$, recall that $S$ is separable over $R$, if $S$ is a projective $S \otimes_R S$-module, via $f: S \otimes_R S \to S$ given by: $f(s_1 \otimes_R s_2)=s_1s_2$. ...

Every finitely generated flat module over a ring with finitely many minimal primes is projective

Over a commutative ring $R$, a finite type locally free (weak sense) module for which the rank function is locally constant is projective. If we notice that for each minimal prime $p$ of the ring, ...

Projective dimension of a quotient ring

Assume $A$ and $B$ are commutative algebras with $1$, $B = A[z] = A[Z]/(h(Z))$, $Z$ an indeterminate. The first comment in this question says that, if $A$ is noetherian, then $pd_{B\otimes_A B}(B) \...

Deciding whether a non-f.g. non-divisible flat module is projective or not

Assume $S= R[T]/(f)= R[w]$ is a flat non-divisible $R$-module, where $R$ is a noetherian UFD, $T$ is an indeterminate over $R$, and $f\in R[T]$ is a non-monic polynomial of positive degree. Can we ...

Commutator tensors and submodules

Let $k$ be a commutative ring with $1$, and let $B$ be a submodule of a $k$-module $A$. For every $n\in\mathbb N$ and every $k$-module $V$, let $K^n\left(V\right)$ denote the kernel of the canonical ...
