It is proved that a module M over a Noetherian local ring R of prime characteristic and positive dimension has finite flat dimension if ToriR(eR,M)=0\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

\begin{document}$$e\geqslant \log _p e(R)$$\end{document}, where e(R) is the multiplicity of the ring. This improves a result of Dailey et al. (J Commut Algebra), as well as generalizing a theorem due to Miller (Contemp Math 331:207–234, 2003) from finitely generated modules to arbitrary modules. We also show that if R is a complete intersection ring then the vanishing of ToriR(eR,M)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}
