Lemma 10.89.11. Let R \to S be a ring map. Let M be an S-module. If S is Mittag-Leffler as an R-module, and M is flat and Mittag-Leffler as an S-module, then M is Mittag-Leffler as an R-module.
Proof. We deduce this from the characterization of Proposition 10.89.5. Namely, suppose that Q_\alpha is a family of R-modules. Consider the composition
\xymatrix{ M \otimes _ R \prod _\alpha Q_\alpha = M \otimes _ S S \otimes _ R \prod _\alpha Q_\alpha \ar[d] \\ M \otimes _ S \prod _\alpha (S \otimes _ R Q_\alpha ) \ar[d] \\ \prod _\alpha (M \otimes _ S S \otimes _ R Q_\alpha ) = \prod _\alpha (M \otimes _ R Q_\alpha ) }
The first arrow is injective as M is flat over S and S is Mittag-Leffler over R and the second arrow is injective as M is Mittag-Leffler over S. Hence M is Mittag-Leffler over R. \square
