Lemma 37.23.5. Let f : X \to S be a flat morphism of schemes which is locally of finite presentation. Let s \in S be a point in the image of f. Then there exists a commutative diagram

\xymatrix{ S' \ar[rr] \ar[rd]_ g & & X \ar[ld]^ f \\ & S }

where g : S' \to S is flat, locally of finite presentation, locally quasi-finite, and s \in g(S').

Proof. The fibre X_ s is not empty by assumption. Hence there exists a closed point x \in X_ s where f is Cohen-Macaulay, see Lemma 37.22.7. Apply Lemma 37.23.4 and set S' = S. \square
