Flatness of "derived local system sheaves"

Let $f: Y\longrightarrow X$ be a smooth proper map of smooth proper schemes over $\mathbb{Q}$, and let $\mathcal{F} = R^1_\text{ét}\overline{f}_*\mathbb{Q}_p$ denote the derived pushforward of $\...

Finitely generated modules over Noetherian local ring that become isomorphic after faithfully flat base change

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring. Let $S$ be a Noetherian ring which is a faithfully flat $R$-algebra. If $M,N$ are finitely generated $R$-modules such that $M\otimes_R S \cong N \...

Classification of flat Riemannian three manifold

By a theorem of L. Bieberbach we know that that every closed flat Riemannian manifold is a quotient of a torus via action of a finite group $\Gamma$. In this question we are interested in the ...

Flat base change in the complex analytic setting

On page 255 of Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry, it is shown that "cohomology commutes with flat base extension": Proposition III.9.3: Let $f : X \to Y$ be a separated morphism of finite type of ...

Representability of Flattening stratification functor

Let $f:X \to Y$ be a projective morphism between noetherian scheme. Is there any know condition under which there exists a functorial stratification of $Y$ i.e., there exists a filtration by locally ...

Idea behind Grothendieck's proof that formally smooth implies flat?

From this answer I learned that Grothendieck proved the following result. Theorem. Every formally smooth morphism between locally noetherian schemes is flat. The book Smoothness, Regularity, and ...

Deformation of projective bundles

Let $\pi:\mathcal{X} \to \mathbb{P}^1$ be a flat, projective family of noetherian schemes with generic fiber a smooth, projective variety. Let $p:\mathcal{Y} \to \mathcal{X}$ be another flat, ...

Fiberwise injective resolution of coherent sheaf

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field (of characteristic zero) and $X, Y$ be projective $k$-varieties. Let $F$ be a coherent sheaf on $X \times_k Y$, flat over $Y$. Does there exists a coherent $\...

Homotopical interpretation of flatness?

I have read a discussion (in a less common language) which discussed a homotopical interpretation of flatness, which went something like: A map of commutative algebras is flat if pushing it out ...

When is the pullback of an injective sheaf injective?

Let $X$ be a Gorenstein (not necessarily smooth) projective $\mathbb{C}$-scheme and $S$ another $k$-scheme. Let $I$ be an injective sheaf on $X$. Denote by $p:X \times_k S \to X$ the natural ...

Is the $B$-tensor power of flat $A$-modules, $A$-flat?

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and $A, B$ be two finitely generated $k$-algebras. Suppose $B$ is flat over $A$. Let $M$ be a finitely generated $B$-module which is flat over $A$. Is it true ...

Being Cohen-Macaulay open in Hilbert scheme?

Let $H$ be the Hilbert scheme of closed subschemes of $\mathbb{P}^n$ with a given Hilbert polynomial. I would like to have a reference (preferably from a published paper or book, not stacks project) ...

Ultraproducts and subobjects of projectives

Usually the question whether the class of projective algebras in a given variety is closed under taking subalgebras seems to be quite hard. In varieties with well understood dual geometry (e. g. ...

Flatness over non-reduced schemes : no geometric characterisation

I know someone already asked about flatness over non-reduced schemes, but I think my question is different. I'm reading Bosch, Lütkebohmert and Raynaud's "Néron models", and in the second chapter, ...
