Lemma 34.9.12. Let T be a scheme. Let \{ f_ i : T_ i \to T\} _{i \in I} be a family of morphisms of schemes with target T. Assume that

  1. each f_ i is flat, and

  2. every affine scheme Z and morphism h : Z \to T there exists a standard fpqc covering \{ Z_ j \to Z\} _{j = 1, \ldots , n} which refines the family \{ T_ i \times _ T Z \to Z\} _{i \in I}.

Then \{ f_ i : T_ i \to T\} _{i \in I} is an fpqc covering of T.

Proof. Let T = \bigcup U_\alpha be an affine open covering. For each \alpha the pullback family \{ T_ i \times _ T U_\alpha \to U_\alpha \} can be refined by a standard fpqc covering, hence is an fpqc covering by Lemma 34.9.5. As \{ U_\alpha \to T\} is an fpqc covering we conclude that \{ T_ i \to T\} is an fpqc covering by Lemma 34.9.6. \square
