Proof. Flatness is preserved under any base change, see Algebra, Lemma 10.39.7. Consider a prime $\mathfrak p' \subset R'$ lying over $\mathfrak p \subset R$. The residue field extension $\kappa (\mathfrak p')/\kappa (\mathfrak p)$ is finitely generated as $R'$ is of finite type over $R$. Hence the fibre ring

\[ (\Lambda \otimes _ R R') \otimes _{R'} \kappa (\mathfrak p') = \Lambda \otimes _ R \kappa (\mathfrak p) \otimes _{\kappa (\mathfrak p)} \kappa (\mathfrak p') \]

is Noetherian by Algebra, Lemma 10.31.8 and the assumption on the fibre rings of $R \to \Lambda $. Geometric regularity of the fibres is preserved by Algebra, Lemma 10.166.1. $\square$

Comment #8308 by Rankeya on

Can this statement be changed to 'essentially' of finite type ring map instead of finite type? Obviously, any localization of a regular ring map remains regular, but this would make for an easy citation (old Matsumura book also states this for finite type instead of essentially of finite type base change.
