Lemma 58.12.3. Let G be a finite group acting on a ring R. Let R^ G \to A be a ring map. Let \mathfrak q' \subset A \otimes _{R^ G} R be a prime lying over the prime \mathfrak q \subset R. Then

I_\mathfrak q = \{ \sigma \in G \mid \sigma (\mathfrak q) = \mathfrak q\text{ and } \sigma \bmod \mathfrak q = \text{id}_{\kappa (\mathfrak q)}\}

is equal to

I_{\mathfrak q'} = \{ \sigma \in G \mid \sigma (\mathfrak q') = \mathfrak q'\text{ and } \sigma \bmod \mathfrak q' = \text{id}_{\kappa (\mathfrak q')}\}

Proof. Since \mathfrak q is the inverse image of \mathfrak q' and since \kappa (\mathfrak q) \subset \kappa (\mathfrak q'), we get I_{\mathfrak q'} \subset I_\mathfrak q. Conversely, if \sigma \in I_\mathfrak q, the \sigma acts trivially on the fibre ring A \otimes _{R^ G} \kappa (\mathfrak q). Thus \sigma fixes all the primes lying over \mathfrak q and induces the identity on their residue fields. \square
