Lemma 100.3.3. Let P be a property of morphisms of algebraic spaces as above. Let f : \mathcal{X} \to \mathcal{Y} be a morphism of algebraic stacks representable by algebraic spaces. Let W be an algebraic space and let W \to \mathcal{Y} be surjective, locally of finite presentation, and flat. Set V = W \times _\mathcal {Y} \mathcal{X}. Then
(f\text{ has }P) \Leftrightarrow (\text{the projection }V \to W\text{ has }P).
Proof. The implication from left to right follows from Lemma 100.3.2. Assume V \to W has P. Let T be a scheme, and let T \to \mathcal{Y} be a morphism. Consider the commutative diagram
\xymatrix{ T \times _\mathcal {Y} \mathcal{X} \ar[d] & T \times _\mathcal {Y} V \ar[d] \ar[l] \ar[r] & V \ar[d] \\ T & T \times _\mathcal {Y} W \ar[l] \ar[r] & W }
of algebraic spaces. The squares are cartesian. The bottom left morphism is a surjective, flat morphism which is locally of finite presentation, hence \{ T \times _\mathcal {Y} V \to T\} is an fppf covering. Hence the fact that the right vertical arrow has property P implies that the left vertical arrow has property P. \square
