Lemma 29.41.7. Suppose given a commutative diagram of schemes
\xymatrix{ X \ar[rr] \ar[rd] & & Y \ar[ld] \\ & S & }
with Y separated over S.
If X \to S is universally closed, then the morphism X \to Y is universally closed.
If X is proper over S, then the morphism X \to Y is proper.
In particular, in both cases the image of X in Y is closed.
Proof.
Assume that X \to S is universally closed (resp. proper). We factor the morphism as X \to X \times _ S Y \to Y. The first morphism is a closed immersion, see Schemes, Lemma 26.21.10. Hence the first morphism is proper (Lemma 29.41.6). The projection X \times _ S Y \to Y is the base change of a universally closed (resp. proper) morphism and hence universally closed (resp. proper), see Lemma 29.41.5. Thus X \to Y is universally closed (resp. proper) as the composition of universally closed (resp. proper) morphisms (Lemma 29.41.4).
