Lemma 35.7.9. Let f : X \to Y be a morphism of schemes. Let \mathcal{F} be a quasi-coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-module. Assume f is a finite morphism. Then \mathcal{F} is an \mathcal{O}_ X-module of finite type if and only if f_*\mathcal{F} is an \mathcal{O}_ Y-module of finite type.
Proof. As f is finite it is affine. This reduces us to the case where f is the morphism \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) given by a finite ring map A \to B. Moreover, then \mathcal{F} = \widetilde{M} is the sheaf of modules associated to the B-module M. Note that M is finite as a B-module if and only if M is finite as an A-module, see Algebra, Lemma 10.7.2. Combined with Properties, Lemma 28.16.1 this proves the lemma. \square
