Flat modules over a PID

1.1k Views Asked by At

I know any f.g. flat module over a PID is projective. I am searching about does any flat module over a PID have the same feature? I consider $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$ which are not free and flat, am I right ?

Over $\Bbb Z$, $\Bbb Q$ is flat but not free. For $\Bbb Z$-modules, flatness is the same as torsion-freeness, but $\Bbb Q$ is divisible, and a nonzero projective module is never divisible.
