Localizing a prime that survives in a localization #

Let S be a localization of R at a submonoid M, and let q be a prime of R disjoint from M. Then q S is a prime of S lying over q, and the localization of R at q is the localization of S at q S. Mathlib records the converse direction, starting from a prime of S, as IsLocalization.isLocalization_isLocalization_atPrime_isLocalization and IsLocalization.localizationLocalizationAtPrimeIsoLocalization.

Main results #

If S is a localization of R at M and q is a prime of R disjoint from M, then there is a prime P of S lying over q (namely q S) such that R_q is isomorphic to S_P.
