Lemma 10.164.1. Let R \to S be a ring map. Assume that

  1. R \to S is faithfully flat, and

  2. S is Noetherian.

Then R is Noetherian.

Proof. Let I_0 \subset I_1 \subset I_2 \subset \ldots be a growing sequence of ideals of R. By assumption we have I_ nS = I_{n +1}S = I_{n + 2}S = \ldots for some n. Since R \to S is flat we have I_ kS = I_ k \otimes _ R S. Hence, as R \to S is faithfully flat we see that I_ nS = I_{n +1}S = I_{n + 2}S = \ldots implies that I_ n = I_{n +1} = I_{n + 2} = \ldots as desired. \square
