Lemma 10.104.7. Any quotient of a catenary ring is catenary. Any quotient of a Noetherian universally catenary ring is universally catenary.

Proof. Let $A$ be a ring and let $I \subset A$ be an ideal. The description of $\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A/I)$ in Lemma 10.16.7 shows that if $A$ is catenary, then so is $A/I$. The second statement is a special case of Lemma 10.104.5. $\square$

\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-quotient-catenary}
Any quotient of a catenary ring is catenary.
Any quotient of a Noetherian universally catenary ring is
universally catenary.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Let $A$ be a ring and let $I \subset A$ be an ideal.
The description of $\Spec(A/I)$ in Lemma \ref{lemma-spec-closed}
shows that if $A$ is catenary, then so is $A/I$.
The second statement is a special case of
Lemma \ref{lemma-universally-catenary}.
\end{proof}
