Lemma 38.18.1. Let f : X \to S be a morphism of schemes of finite type. Let \mathcal{F} be a quasi-coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-module of finite type. Let s \in S. Assume that \mathcal{F} is flat over S at all points of X_ s. Let x' \in \text{Ass}_{X/S}(\mathcal{F}) with f(x') = s' such that s' \leadsto s is a specialization in S. If x' specializes to a point of X_ s, then x' \leadsto x with x \in \text{Ass}_{X_ s}(\mathcal{F}_ s).
Proof. Say x' \leadsto t with t \in X_ s. Then we can find specializations x' \leadsto x \leadsto t with x corresponding to a generic point of an irreducible component of \overline{\{ x'\} } \cap f^{-1}(\{ s\} ). By assumption \mathcal{F} is flat over S at x. By More on Morphisms, Lemma 37.18.3 we see that x \in \text{Ass}_{X/S}(\mathcal{F}) as desired. \square
