Lemma 37.8.8. Let f : X \to S be a morphism of schemes. Assume X and S are affine. Then f is formally étale if and only if \mathcal{O}_ S(S) \to \mathcal{O}_ X(X) is a formally étale ring map.
Proof. This is immediate from the definitions (Definition 37.8.1 and Algebra, Definition 10.150.1) by the equivalence of categories of rings and affine schemes, see Schemes, Lemma 26.6.5. \square
