Weak flat condition?

70 Views Asked by At

Let $R$ be a unit ring (not necessarily commutative). Then it is clear that for a right $R$-module $M$ we have:

$M$ is flat $R$-module $\Rightarrow$ for any left $R$-module $E$ with $E\otimes_{R}M=0$ and any submodule $E'\leq E$, we have $E'\otimes_{R}M=0$.

Can anyone give me a counterexample to show the inverse implication is not correct?

Thanks in advance!

Let $M=R\oplus T$ where $T$ is not flat. Then $M\otimes E=E\oplus (T\otimes E)$ which is 0, if and only if $E=0$.
