Lemma 10.95.1. Let $R \to S$ be a faithfully flat ring map. Let $M$ be an $R$-module. If the $S$-module $M \otimes _ R S$ is Mittag-Leffler, then $M$ is Mittag-Leffler.

Proof.
Write $M = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _{i\in I} M_ i$ as a directed colimit of finitely presented $R$-modules $M_ i$. Using Proposition 10.88.6, we see that we have to prove that for each $i \in I$ there exists $i \leq j$, $j\in I$ such that $M_ i\rightarrow M_ j$ dominates $M_ i\rightarrow M$.
Take $N$ the pushout
Then the lemma is equivalent to the existence of $j$ such that $M_ j\rightarrow N$ is universally injective, see Lemma 10.88.4. Observe that the tensorization by $S$
Is a pushout diagram. So because $M \otimes _ R S = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _{i\in I} M_ i \otimes _ R S$ expresses $M\otimes _ R S$ as a colimit of $S$-modules of finite presentation, and $M\otimes _ R S$ is Mittag-Leffler, there exists $j \geq i$ such that $M_ j\otimes _ R S\rightarrow N\otimes _ R S$ is universally injective. So using that $R\rightarrow S$ is faithfully flat we conclude that $M_ j\rightarrow N$ is universally injective too.
