Non-flatness conjecture for rings of integer-valued polynomials
Let be an integral domain, and let denote its ring of integer-valued polynomials. Consider the two local domains
or
Non-flatness conjecture. The domain is not flat over for either of these choices of ; in particular, there exists a local, Noetherian, one-dimensional, analytically irreducible integral domain such that is not flat over .
The conjecture would provide examples showing that rings of integer-valued polynomials need not be flat, complementing the source's discussion of cases where is locally free and flat. The supplied source gives no resolution evidence.
