Commutative Algebra, chapter V, § 2. The lift of prime ideals

Let h:A→A′h : \mathbf{A} \to \mathbf{A}' be a ring homomorphism, SS a multiplicative subset of A\mathbf{A}, i=iAS:A→S−1Ai = i_A^S : \mathbf{A} \to S^{-1}\mathbf{A}, i′=iA′h(S):A′→S−1A′=(h(S))−1A′i' = i_{A'}^{h(S)} : \mathbf{A}' \to S^{-1}\mathbf{A}' = (h(S))^{-1}\mathbf{A}' the canonical homomorphisms and h1=S−1h:S−1A→S−1A′h_1 = S^{-1}h : S^{-1}\mathbf{A} \to S^{-1}\mathbf{A}', so that there is a commutative diagram

A→hA′i↓i′↓S−1A→h1S−1A′ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{A} & \xrightarrow{h} & \mathbf{A}' \\ i \downarrow & & i' \downarrow \\ S^{-1}\mathbf{A} & \xrightarrow{h_1} & S^{-1}\mathbf{A}' \end{array}

Let pp be a prime ideal of A\mathbf{A} such that p∩S=∅p \cap S = \varnothing. Then a′↦S−1a′a' \mapsto S^{-1}a' is a surjective mapping of the set F\mathscr{F} of ideals of A′\mathbf{A}' lying above pp onto the set F1\mathscr{F}_1 of ideals of S−1A′S^{-1}\mathbf{A}' lying above S−1pS^{-1}p and the mapping a1′↦i′(a1′)a'_1 \mapsto i'(a'_1) is a bijection of F1\mathscr{F}_1 onto the set of ideals belonging to F\mathscr{F} and is saturated with respect to h(S)h(S); in particular p′↦S−1p′p' \mapsto S^{-1}p' is a bijection of the set of prime ideals of A′\mathbf{A}' lying above pp onto the set of prime ideals of S−1A′S^{-1}\mathbf{A}' lying above S−1pS^{-1}p.

We know that S−1pS^{-1}p is a prime ideal of S−1AS^{-1}\mathbf{A} and that i1(S−1p)=pi_1(S^{-1}p) = p (Chapter 11, § 2, no. 5, Proposition 11); if there exists an ideal b′b' of S−1A′S^{-1}\mathbf{A}' lying above S−1pS^{-1}p, then h(i1(b′))=i(h1(b′))=ph(i_1(b')) = i(h_1(b')) = p; as S−1i′(b′)=b′S^{-1}i'(b') = b' (loc. cit.), this already shows that the image of F\mathscr{F} under the mapping a′↦S−1a′a' \mapsto S^{-1}a' contains F1\mathscr{F}_1. On the other hand, if a′∈Fa' \in \mathscr{F}, a∈Aa \in A and s∈Ss \in S, there are the following equivalences

h1(a/s)∈S−1a′  ⟺  h(a)/h(s)∈S−1a′ h_1(a/s) \in S^{-1}a' \iff h(a)/h(s) \in S^{-1}a'
  ⟺  \iff there exists t∈St \in S such that h(t)h(a)∈a′h(t)h(a) \in a'   ⟺  \iff there exists t∈St \in S such that ta∈pta \in \mathfrak{p}   ⟺  a/z∈S−1p\iff a/z \in S^{-1}\mathfrak{p}.

Hence h1−1(S−1a′)=S−1ph_1^{-1}(S^{-1}a') = S^{-1}\mathfrak{p}, which completes the proof that the image of F\mathscr{F} under the mapping a′↦S−1a′a' \mapsto S^{-1}a' is equal to F1\mathscr{F}_1; the other assertions follow from Chapter 11, § 2, no. 5, Proposition 11.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
