Some new module-theoretic characterizations of $S$-coherent rings

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $R$. In this paper, we first introduce and study the notions of $s$-pure exact sequences and $s$-absolutely pure modules which extend the classical notions of pure exact sequences and absolutely pure modules. And then, we give some new characterizations of $S$-coherent rings in terms of $s$-absolutely pure modules.
