Statement

Suppose A is a Noetherian commutative unital ring and M is any A-module (not necessarily finitely generated. Let S be a multiplicatively closed subset of A.

There is a natural inclusion on spectra:

Spec(S−1A)→Spec(A)

The set of associated primes for S−1M as an S−1A-module is the inverse image in Spec(S−1A) of the set of associated primes for M as an A-module.

If we identify Spec(S−1A) with its image, a subset of Spec(A), then we can write:

AssS−1AS−1M=AssAM∩Spec(S−1A)
