Lemma 10.17.5. Let R be a ring. Let S \subset R be a multiplicative subset. The map R \to S^{-1}R induces via the functoriality of \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}} a homeomorphism
\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(S^{-1}R) \longrightarrow \{ \mathfrak p \in \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R) \mid S \cap \mathfrak p = \emptyset \}
where the topology on the right hand side is that induced from the Zariski topology on \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R). The inverse map is given by \mathfrak p \mapsto S^{-1}\mathfrak p = \mathfrak p(S^{-1}R).
Proof.
Denote the right hand side of the arrow of the lemma by D. Choose a prime \mathfrak p' \subset S^{-1}R and let \mathfrak p the inverse image of \mathfrak p' in R. Since \mathfrak p' does not contain 1 we see that \mathfrak p does not contain any element of S. Hence \mathfrak p \in D and we see that the image is contained in D. Let \mathfrak p \in D. By assumption the image \overline{S} does not contain 0. By basic notion (54) \overline{S}^{-1}(R/\mathfrak p) is not the zero ring. By basic notion (62) we see S^{-1}R / S^{-1}\mathfrak p = \overline{S}^{-1}(R/\mathfrak p) is a domain, and hence S^{-1}\mathfrak p is a prime. The equality of rings also shows that the inverse image of S^{-1}\mathfrak p in R is equal to \mathfrak p, because R/\mathfrak p \to \overline{S}^{-1}(R/\mathfrak p) is injective by basic notion (55). This proves that the map \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(S^{-1}R) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R) is bijective onto D with inverse as given. It is continuous by Lemma 10.17.4. Finally, let D(g) \subset \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(S^{-1}R) be a standard open. Write g = h/s for some h\in R and s\in S. Since g and h/1 differ by a unit we have D(g) = D(h/1) in \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(S^{-1}R). Hence by Lemma 10.17.4 and the bijectivity above the image of D(g) = D(h/1) is D \cap D(h). This proves the map is open as well.
