Lemma 31.30.6. Let S be a scheme. Let \mathcal{A} be a quasi-coherent graded \mathcal{O}_ S-algebra. Let p : X = \underline{\text{Proj}}_ S(\mathcal{A}) \to S be the relative Proj of \mathcal{A}. If \mathcal{A}_ d is a flat \mathcal{O}_ S-module for d \gg 0, then p is flat and \mathcal{O}_ X(d) is flat over S.
Proof. Affine locally flatness of X over S reduces to the following statement: Let R be a ring, let A be a graded R-algebra with A_ d flat over R for d \gg 0, let f \in A_ d for some d > 0, then A_{(f)} is flat over R. Since A_{(f)} = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits A_{nd} where the transition maps are given by multiplication by f, this follows from Algebra, Lemma 10.39.3. Argue similarly to get flatness of \mathcal{O}_ X(d) over S. \square
