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

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
