TauCeti.RingTheory.RingHom.Flat

Transporting local flatness across ring isomorphisms #

A commutative square whose horizontal maps are isomorphisms transports flatness after localizing the target at corresponding primes. This lets symmetry arguments reduce flatness of a morphism to flatness at one point.

A square of ring maps with isomorphic source and target preserves flatness after localizing the target at corresponding prime ideals.
