Lemma 10.99.2. Suppose that R \to S is a flat and local ring homomorphism of Noetherian local rings. Denote \mathfrak m the maximal ideal of R. Suppose f \in S is a nonzerodivisor in S/{\mathfrak m}S. Then S/fS is flat over R, and f is a nonzerodivisor in S.
Proof. Follows directly from Lemma 10.99.1. \square
