Statement

Suppose is a homomorphism of commutative unital rings, and is an ideal of . Suppose denotes the subset of comprising the prime ideals which contain (the Galois correspondent to under the Galois correspondence between a ring and its spectrum). Then:

An analogous statement is true for the max-spectrum, if we assume that both and are Jacobson rings. This is to equate the Jacobson radical with the nilradical for every quotient ring.
