Characterization of faithfully flat homomorphisms

Because $\rm A \to B$ is injective you have the following sequence $$ 0 \to \rm A \to B \to B/A \to 0.$$

Then because $\rm B/A$ is flat, we have for any $\rm A$-module $\rm M$, $$ 0 \to \rm M \to B \otimes M \to B/A \otimes M \to 0.$$

Hence $ \rm B \otimes M =0 \Rightarrow M = 0$ and so $\rm A \to \rm B$ is faithfully flat.

That's one part.


I seem to get old because I had already come across this result three years ago. It is Lemma 5.5. in Lurie's paper on Tannaka duality. It even works in arbitrary tame abelian $\otimes$-categories.
