Lemma 31.6.2. Let f : X \to S be an affine morphism of schemes. Let \mathcal{F} be a quasi-coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-module. If X is locally Noetherian, then we have
f(\text{Ass}_ X(\mathcal{F})) = \text{Ass}_ S(f_*\mathcal{F}) = \text{WeakAss}_ S(f_*\mathcal{F}) = f(\text{WeakAss}_ X(\mathcal{F}))
Proof. We may assume X and S affine, so X \to S comes from a ring map A \to B. As X is locally Noetherian the ring B is Noetherian, see Properties, Lemma 28.5.2. Write \mathcal{F} = \widetilde M for some B-module M. By Lemma 31.2.2 the associated points of \mathcal{F} correspond exactly to the associated primes of M, and any associated prime of M as an A-module is an associated points of f_*\mathcal{F}. Hence the inclusion
f(\text{Ass}_ X(\mathcal{F})) \subset \text{Ass}_ S(f_*\mathcal{F})
follows from Algebra, Lemma 10.63.13. We have the inclusion
\text{Ass}_ S(f_*\mathcal{F}) \subset \text{WeakAss}_ S(f_*\mathcal{F})
by Lemma 31.5.3. We have the inclusion
\text{WeakAss}_ S(f_*\mathcal{F}) \subset f(\text{WeakAss}_ X(\mathcal{F}))
by Lemma 31.6.1. The outer sets are equal by Lemma 31.5.8 hence we have equality everywhere. \square
