Subrings, submodules, and flatness

Let $R$ be a ring, and $S$ a subring of $R$. Let $M$ be a right $R$-module, and $N$ a right $S$-submodule of $M$. If $N$ is flat (or faithfully flat) as a right $S$-module, does it then follow that ...

A projective module over a domain that is not faithfully flat?

Let $R$ be a (noncommutative) unital ring which is a domain and let $\mathcal{N}$ be a non-zero projective (right) module. Projectivity of course implies that $\mathcal{N}$ is flat, but does the fact ...

Composition of faithfully flat ring extensions

Let $R$ be a not necessarily commutative, unital, ring, and for simplicity let module always mean right module. We say that a unital ring extension $R \hookrightarrow S$ is flat, or faithfully flat, ...

Faithful flatness for rings

Let $R$ be a ring and let $M$ be a right module over $R$. We say that $M$ is faithfully flat as a right module if the functor $M \otimes_R -$ from left $R$-modules to abelian groups that preserves ...

Faithfull flatness of a module containing the ring as a direct summand

Let $R$ be a not necessarily commutative ring, and let $M$ be a projective left $R$-module. Question. If $R$ is a direct summand of $M$ as a left $R$-module, then is it true that $M$ is faithfully ...
