In $R$-mod category, $forall, 0to Nto Mto Fto 0 $ is short exact sequence, $forall R$-module $E$.



$forall, 0to Nto Mto Fto 0 $ exact, $forall R$-module $E$, $F$ is flat $implies 0 to Notimes Eto Motimes Eto Fotimes E to0$ is exact.



How to prove $F$ is flat $implies$$quad0 to Notimes Eto Motimes Eto Fotimes E to0$ is exact?



My thought:



I gave an answer. I wonder if there's an alternative and more direct proof, just using definition of flat module instead of introducing another short exact sequence, since it's not easy for beginners to think of that method. Thanks in advance :)

Let me try and make the question more precise. You are given a short exact sequence $0to Mto Nto Fto 0$, with $F$ flat and you want to prove that, for every $E$, the sequence $0to Motimes Eto Notimes Eto Fotimes Eto 0$ is exact.



Take an exact sequence $0to Xto Yto Eto 0$ with $Y$ projective and build the diagram with exact rows and columns
$$require{AMScd}
begin{CD}
{} @. {} @. {} @. 0 \
@. @. @. @VVV \
{} @. Motimes X @>a>> Notimes X @>b>> Fotimes X @>>> 0 \
@. @VcVV @VdVV @VeVV @. \
0 @>>> Motimes Y @>f>> Notimes Y @>g>> Fotimes Y @>>> 0 \
@. @VhVV @ViVV @VjVV @. \
{} @. Motimes E @>k>> Notimes E @>l>> Fotimes E @>>> 0 \
@. @VVV @VVV @VVV @. \
{} @. 0 @. 0 @. 0
end{CD}
$$

where we have used the fact that $F$ and $Y$ are flat.



Here's the diagram chasing. Let $xinker k$; then $x=h(y)$ and $if(y)=kh(y)=0$, so $f(y)inker i$; hence $f(y)=d(z)$. Since $eb(z)=gd(z)=gf(z)=0$, we conclude $b(z)inker e$, so $b(z)=0$. This implies $z=a(t)$.



Thus $fc(t)=da(t)=d(z)=f(y)$; since $f$ is injective, we have $y=c(t)$ and finally
$$
x=h(y)=hc(t)=0
$$

We can choose a short exact sequence $0to Kto Lto Eto 0 $ s.t. $L$ is free module, and use properties: $(1),otimes $ is right exact $(2)L$ is free ($implies$flat) $(3) F$ is flat for diagram



$$Notimes Kto Motimes Kto Fotimes K$$
$$downarrow quadquadquadquaddownarrow quadquadquadquaddownarrow$$
$$Notimes Lto Motimes Lto Fotimes L$$
$$downarrow quadquadquadquaddownarrow quadquadquadquaddownarrow$$
$$Notimes Eto Motimes Eto Fotimes E$$
Snake Lemma then yields $quad0 to Notimes Eto Motimes Eto Fotimes E to0$.



Using the same idea, we can show this:



$0 to F' to F to F''$ is exact and $F''$ is flat, then $F'$ is flat $iff F$ is flat.



Especially, for exact sequence $0 to F^0to F^1 to cdots to F^n$, if $F^1, cdots, F^n$ are flat, then $F^0$ is flat.

where we have used the fact that $F$ and $Y$ are flat.



Here's the diagram chasing. Let $xinker k$; then $x=h(y)$ and $if(y)=kh(y)=0$, so $f(y)inker i$; hence $f(y)=d(z)$. Since $eb(z)=gd(z)=gf(z)=0$, we conclude $b(z)inker e$, so $b(z)=0$. This implies $z=a(t)$.



Thus $fc(t)=da(t)=d(z)=f(y)$; since $f$ is injective, we have $y=c(t)$ and finally
$$
x=h(y)=hc(t)=0

We can choose a short exact sequence $0to Kto Lto Eto 0 $ s.t. $L$ is free module, and use properties: $(1),otimes $ is right exact $(2)L$ is free ($implies$flat) $(3) F$ is flat for diagram



$$Notimes Kto Motimes Kto Fotimes K$$
$$downarrow quadquadquadquaddownarrow quadquadquadquaddownarrow$$
$$Notimes Lto Motimes Lto Fotimes L$$
$$downarrow quadquadquadquaddownarrow quadquadquadquaddownarrow$$
$$Notimes Eto Motimes Eto Fotimes E$$
Snake Lemma then yields $quad0 to Notimes Eto Motimes Eto Fotimes E to0$.



Using the same idea, we can show this:



$0 to F' to F to F''$ is exact and $F''$ is flat, then $F'$ is flat $iff F$ is flat.



Especially, for exact sequence $0 to F^0to F^1 to cdots to F^n$, if $F^1, cdots, F^n$ are flat, then $F^0$ is flat.
