Abstract
If is a quasi-compact and quasi-separated scheme, the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on is locally finitely presented. Therefore categorical flat quasi-coherent sheaves naturally arise. But there is also the standard definition of flatness in from the stalks. So it makes sense to wonder the relationship (if any) between these two notions. In this paper we show that there are plenty of locally finitely presented categories having no other categorical flats than the zero object. As particular instance, we show that has no other categorical flat objects than zero, where is any commutative ring.
