How general are Gröbner degenerations?
While working with flat degenerations of flag varieties and Schubert varieties I've noticed that among the numerous known constructions there doesn't seem to be a single one that doesn't turn out to ...

Self-flat modules
(This is inspired by this question and asked out of pure curiosity.)
Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Let $M$ and $N$ be $R$-modules. Then, $N$ is called $M$-flat if whenever $M'\rightarrow M$ is a ...

Lifting flat modules over ring quotients
Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $I$ its ideal, and $\bar{R}=R/I$. For which flat $\bar{R}$-modules $\bar{F}$ is there a flat $R$-module $F$ such that $F \otimes_R R/I \simeq \bar{F}$?
By Lazard's ...

Flatness of certain $R \subseteq \mathbb{C}[x,y]$
The two-dimensional Jacobian Conjecture over $\mathbb{C}$ says the following:
Let $p,q \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ satisfy $\operatorname{Jac}(p,q):=p_xq_y-p_yq_x \in \mathbb{C}-\{0\}$.
Then $\mathbb{C}[p,q]=...

When flatness of $S$ over $R_i$ implies flatness of $S$ over the ring generated by $R_1,R_2$
The following question I have asked in MSE, but have not received an answer, so I ask it here; I really apologize if it is not suitable for MO.
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and let $R_1,...

Flatness of $Hom_R(M,M)$
The question is simple and clear: Let $M$ be an $R$-module, where $R$ is a commutative ring with an identity. When the $R$-module $Hom_R(M,M)$ is flat?

Exterior power of a torsion-free sheaf on a DVR
Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring and $X$ be a regular, integral. projective $R$-scheme, flat over $R$. Let $F$ be a torsion-free coherent sheaf on $X$ of rank $n$, flat over $\mathrm{Spec}(R)$. Is ...

R[[X]] flat as a R[X]-module?
I assume $R[X]\rightarrow R[[X]]$ is not flat in general, but I was wondering if any conditions on a commutative ring $R$ are known such that $R[[X]]$ is flat as a $R[X]$-module.
Would $R$ noetherian ...

Flatness of a homogeneous quasi-coherent sheaf on the formal plane from flatness on lines through the origin?
(This is a follow-up to a previous question; as often happens, I didn't include enough hypotheses, so I'm asking a new, more-likely-to-be-true question).
Consider the formal plane $\operatorname{Spec}...

Regular rings and finite flat modules
Let $A$ be a Noetherian domain. Assume $f:A\rightarrow B$ is an injective homomorphism making $B$ into a finite flat module over $A$. If $B$ is regular is $A$ regular as well? I played with some ...

Flatness of modules over dual numbers
Let $X$ be a smooth, affine complex surface, and $M$ be a coherent $\mathcal{O}_X$-module. Denote by $D:=\mbox{Spec}(\mathbb{C}[t]/(t^2))$ and $X_D:=X \times_{\mathbb{C}} D$, the trivial deformation ...

Descent of flatness from algebras to monoids II
This is a follow-up question to this one. There, Benjamin Steinberg showed that a morphism of commutative monoids $u$ need not be flat if the induced morphism of $R$-algebras $R[u]$ is flat for some ...

Flatness over a local noetherian ring
Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a local noetherian ring, and $M$ an arbitrary $R$-module. Suppose that $\mathrm{Tor}_1(M,R/\mathfrak m)=0$. Does it follow that $M$ is flat?
The answer is positive when $M$ ...

Non-minimal Krull associated primes of a PF-ring
A commutative ring $R$ is said to be a PF-ring if every principal ideal of $R$ is a flat $R$-module. Also, a prime ideal $P$ of $R$ to be a Krull associated prime of $R$ if
for every element $x\in P$ ,...

When $K[X_1,X_2,...,X_n] \to K[Y_1,Y_2,...,Y_m]$ is a flat morphism
Let $K$ be a field and $\varphi: K[X_1,X_2,...,X_n] \to K[Y_1,Y_2,...,Y_m]$ a polynomial $K$-algebra morphism. Assume $n, m \ge 2$. By definition $\varphi$ endows $K[Y_1,Y_2,...,Y_m]$ with a $K[X_1,...

Flatness of a simple ring extension
Assume $A \subseteq B=A[b]$ are integral domains, $b \in B$ is algebraic over $A$ (but not necessarily integral over $A$), and $A$ and $B$ have the same field of fractions.
(Notice that $b=u/v$ for ...
