Lemma 38.9.3. Let R be a ring. Let R \to S be a ring map. Assume

  1. R \to S is of finite presentation and flat, and

  2. every fibre ring S \otimes _ R \kappa (\mathfrak p) is geometrically integral over \kappa (\mathfrak p).

Then S is projective as an R-module.

Proof. We can find a cocartesian diagram of rings

\xymatrix{ S_0 \ar[r] & S \\ R_0 \ar[u] \ar[r] & R \ar[u] }

such that R_0 is of finite type over \mathbf{Z}, the map R_0 \to S_0 is of finite type and flat with geometrically integral fibres, see More on Morphisms, Lemmas 37.34.4, 37.34.6, 37.34.7, and 37.34.11. By Lemma 38.9.2 we see that S_0 is a projective R_0-module. Hence S = S_0 \otimes _{R_0} R is a projective R-module, see Algebra, Lemma 10.94.1. \square
