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 along Spec S → Spec R.
• Algebra.HasGoingDown.of_flat: flat algebras satisfy going down.

TODOs

• An integral extension of domains with normal base satisfies going down.

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.

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.
