Regularity ascends along smooth maps of rings.

Lemma 10.163.10. Let \varphi : R \to S be a ring map. Assume

  1. \varphi is smooth,

  2. R is a regular ring.

Then S is regular.

Proof. This follows from Lemma 10.163.5 applied for all (R_ k) using Lemma 10.140.3 to see that the hypotheses are satisfied. \square
