Let R be a ring and M an R-module. Then M is said to be regular w-flat provided that the natural homomorphism I ⊗_R M → R ⊗_R M is a w-monomorphism for any regular ideal I. We distinguish regular w-flat modules from regular flat modules and w-flat modules by idealization constructions. Then we give some characterizations of total quotient rings and Prüfer v-multiplication rings (PvMRs for short) utilizing the homological properties of regular w-flat modules.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. An R-module M is said to be w-projective if $Ext\frac{1}{R}$(M,N) is GV-torsion for any torsion-free w-module N. In this paper, we define a ring R to be w-semi-hereditary if every finite type ideal of R is w-projective. To characterize w-semi-hereditary rings, we introduce the concept of w-injective modules and study some basic properties of w-injective modules. Using these concepts, we show that R is w-semi-hereditary if and only if the total quotient ring T(R) of R is a von Neumann regular ring and $R_m$ is a valuation domain for any maximal w-ideal m of R. It is also shown that a connected ring R is w-semi-hereditary if and only if R is a Pr$\ddot{u}$fer v-multiplication domain.
