Abstract: We will prove the well-known result by Benson and Goodearl about flat modules over an arbitrary ring R: If a flat R-module M sits in a short exact sequence 0 → M → P → M → 0 with P projective, then M is projective. In other words, every flat periodic R-module M (of period 1) is projective. We will then talk about some of the recent generalizations of this result.
