Lemma 77.6.4. Let S be a scheme. Let f : X \to Y be a morphism of algebraic spaces over S. Let \mathcal{F} be a quasi-coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-module. Let y \in |Y|. Assume
f is decent and of finite type,
\mathcal{F} is of finite type,
\mathcal{F} is flat over Y at all points lying over y, and
\mathcal{F} is pure above y.
Then \mathcal{F} is universally pure above y.
Proof.
Consider the morphism \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\mathcal{O}_{Y, \overline{y}}) \to Y. This is a flat morphism from the spectrum of a strictly henselian local ring which maps the closed point to y. By Lemma 77.3.4 we reduce to the case described in the next paragraph.
Assume Y is the spectrum of a strictly henselian local ring R with closed point y. By Lemma 77.4.6 there exists an étale morphism g : X' \to X with g(|X'|) \supset |X_ y|, with X' affine, and with \Gamma (X', g^*\mathcal{F}) a free R-module. Then g^*\mathcal{F} is universally pure relative to Y, see More on Flatness, Lemma 38.17.4. Hence it suffices to prove that g(|X'|) contains \text{Ass}_{X/Y}(\mathcal{F}) by Lemma 77.6.3 part (1). This in turn follows from Lemma 77.6.3 part (2).
