Lemma 87.7.4. Let A be a weakly adic topological ring. Let I be an ideal of definition such that I/I_2 is a finitely generated module where I_2 is the closure of I^2. Then A is adic and has a finitely generated ideal of definition.

Proof. We use the characterization of Lemma 87.7.2 without further mention. Choose f_1, \ldots , f_ r \in I which map to generators of I/I_2. Set I' = (f_1, \ldots , f_ r). We have I' + I_2 = I. Then I_2 is the closure of I^2 = (I' + I_2)^2 \subset I' + I_3 where I_3 is the closure of I^3. Hence I' + I_3 = I. Continuing in this fashion we see that I' + I_ n = I for all n \geq 2 where I_ n is the closure of I^ n. In other words, the closure of I' in A is I. Hence the closure of (I')^ n is I_ n. Thus the closures of (I')^ n are a fundamental system of open ideals of A. We conclude by Lemma 87.7.3. \square
