Map to localization is injective on spectra
This article gives the statement, and possibly proof, of a fact about how a property of a homomorphism of commutative unital rings, forces a property for the induced map on spectra

Statement
Set-theoretic statement
Suppose is a commutative unital ring, is a multiplicatively closed subset of and is the localization of at the multiplicatively closed subset . Then the induced map on spectra:
is injective. In fact:
- The image of this map is those primes that are disjoint from
- The inverse image of a prime ideal is precisely the prime ideal i.e. the extension of to
Topological statement
Further, it is also true that the topology on is such that if we give the subspace topology to its image in , the map is a homeomorphism.
