Abstract
We study the class of rings in which every P-flat module is flat. In domains this property characterizes Prüfer domains. We investigate the preservation of this property under localization, homomorphic image, direct product, amalgamation, and trivial ring extension. Our results yield examples which enrich the current literature with new and original families of rings that satisfy this property.
