On \(n\)-flat modules and \(n\)-von Neumann regular rings (Q933854): Difference between revisions

Summary: We show that each \(R\)-module is \(n\)-flat (resp., weakly \(n\)-flat) if and only if \(R\) is an \((n,n - 1)\)-ring (resp., a weakly \((n,n - 1)\)-ring). We also give a new characterization of \(n\)-Von Neumann regular rings and a characterization of weak \(n\)-von Neumann regular rings for (CH)-rings and for local rings. Finally, we show that in a class of principal rings and a class of local Gaussian rings, a weak \(n\)-von Neumann regular ring is a (CH)-ring.
