 | | Over a Sylvester domain every full matrix is regular, so the conditions of Theorem 5, and their duals, hold, so every flat module is spacial, hence locally free, and the kernel of any homomorphism between spacial modules is spacial, which says that the kernel of any homomorphism between flat modules is flat. |
 | | Let R be a principal ideal domain and S be the set of atoms of R. Then inverting the elements of S gives the field of fractions, K, of R. By Theorem 13, R(X)-K(X) is rank-preserving, but K(X) is a sernifir so has a rank-preserving homomorphism to a skew field, and hence so does R~X). |
 | | The conditions (l)-(4) for P to be a prime matrix ideal are readily verified using (35), (36), and the "transpose" of (36). |
