Flat Modules are Torsion-free












0












$begingroup$


Can anyone help me prove that a flat module is torsion-free? I’ve tried supposing is isn’t and then get the contradiction that it isn’t flat, but I’m not having any good results. Any suggestion is welcomed. Thanks.

    Consider, for a regular element $rin R$, the exact sequence $0to Rto Rto R/(r)to 0$

    Well you have a flat module and a short exact sequence, what can you do with it ?
