Lemma 10.125.8. Let R \to S be a ring homomorphism of finite presentation. Let n \geq 0. The set

V_ n = \{ \mathfrak q \in \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(S) \mid \dim _{\mathfrak q}(S/R) \leq n\}

is a quasi-compact open subset of \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(S).

Proof. It is open by Lemma 10.125.6. Let S = R[x_1, \ldots , x_ n]/(f_1, \ldots , f_ m) be a presentation of S. Let R_0 be the \mathbf{Z}-subalgebra of R generated by the coefficients of the polynomials f_ i. Let S_0 = R_0[x_1, \ldots , x_ n]/(f_1, \ldots , f_ m). Then S = R \otimes _{R_0} S_0. By Lemma 10.125.7 V_ n is the inverse image of an open V_{0, n} under the quasi-compact continuous map \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(S) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(S_0). Since S_0 is Noetherian we see that V_{0, n} is quasi-compact. \square
