A note on $S$-flat preenvelopes

Abstract

In this note, we investigate the notion of $S$-flat preenvelopes of modules. In particular, we give an example that a ring $R$ being coherent does not imply that every $R$-module have an $S$-flat preenvelope, giving a negative answer to the question proposed by Bennis and Bouziri \cite{BB24}. Besides, we also show that $R_S$ is a coherent ring also does not imply that $R$ is an $S$-coherent ring in general.
