Lemma 88.15.8. Consider a commutative diagram

\xymatrix{ B \ar[r] & B' \\ A \ar[r] \ar[u]^\varphi & A' \ar[u]_{\varphi '} }

in \textit{WAdm}^{Noeth} with all arrows adic and topologically of finite type. Assume A \to A' flat and B \to B' faithfully flat. If \varphi ' is rig-flat, then \varphi is rig-flat.

Proof. Given f \in A the assumptions of the lemma remain true for the digram

\xymatrix{ B_{\{ f\} } \ar[r] & (B')_{\{ f\} } \\ A_{\{ f\} } \ar[r] \ar[u]^\varphi & (A')_{\{ f\} } \ar[u] }

(To check the condition on faithful flatness: faithful flatness of B \to B' is equivalent to B \to B' being flat and \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B'/IB') \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B/IB) being surjective for some ideal of definition I \subset A.) Hence it suffices to prove that \varphi is naively rig-flat. However, we know that \varphi ' is naively rig-flat and that \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B') \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B) is surjective. From this the result follows immediately. \square
