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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 $\...

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 ...
