Going down #
In this file we define a predicate Algebra.HasGoingDown: An R-algebra S satisfies
Algebra.HasGoingDown R S if for every pair of prime ideals p ≤ q of R with Q a prime
of S lying above q, there exists a prime P ≤ Q of S lying above p.
Main results #
Algebra.HasGoingDown.iff_generalizingMap_primeSpectrumComap: going down is equivalent to generalizations lifting alongSpec S → Spec R.Algebra.HasGoingDown.of_flat: flat algebras satisfy going down.
Note #
- For the fact that an integral extension of domains with normal base satisfies going down,
see
Mathlib/RingTheory/IntegralClosure/GoingDown.lean.
An R-algebra S satisfies Algebra.HasGoingDown R S if for every pair of
prime ideals p ≤ q of R with Q a prime of S lying above q, there exists a
prime P ≤ Q of S lying above p.
The condition only asks for < which is easier to prove, use
Ideal.exists_ideal_le_liesOver_of_le for applying it.
Instances
An R-algebra S has the going down property if and only if generalizations lift
along Spec S → Spec R.
If for every prime of S, the map Spec Sₚ → Spec Rₚ is surjective,
the algebra satisfies going down.
Flat algebras satisfy the going down property.
