Lemma 15.47.6. Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring. The following are equivalent

1. $R$ is J-2,

2. every finite type $R$-algebra which is a domain is J-0,

3. every finite $R$-algebra is J-1,

4. for every prime $\mathfrak p$ and every finite purely inseparable extension $\kappa (\mathfrak p) \subset L$ there exists a finite $R$-algebra $R'$ which is a domain, which is J-0, and whose field of fractions is $L$.

Proof. It is clear that we have the implications (1) $\Rightarrow$ (2) and (2) $\Rightarrow$ (4). Recall that a domain which is J-1 is J-0. Hence we also have the implications (1) $\Rightarrow$ (3) and (3) $\Rightarrow$ (4).

Let $R \to S$ be a finite type ring map and let's try to show $S$ is J-1. By Lemma 15.47.3 it suffices to prove that $S/\mathfrak q$ is J-0 for every prime $\mathfrak q$ of $S$. In this way we see (2) $\Rightarrow$ (1).

Assume (4). We will show that (2) holds which will finish the proof. Let $R \to S$ be a finite type ring map with $S$ a domain. Let $\mathfrak p = \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(R \to S)$. Let $K$ be the fraction field of $S$. There exists a diagram of fields

$\xymatrix{ K \ar[r] & K' \\ \kappa (\mathfrak p) \ar[u] \ar[r] & L \ar[u] }$

where the horizontal arrows are finite purely inseparable field extensions and where $K'/L$ is separable, see Algebra, Lemma 10.42.4. Choose $R' \subset L$ as in (4) and let $S'$ be the image of the map $S \otimes _ R R' \to K'$. Then $S'$ is a domain whose fraction field is $K'$, hence $S'$ is J-0 by Lemma 15.47.5 and our choice of $R'$. Then we apply Lemma 15.47.4 to see that $S$ is J-0 as desired. $\square$
