Given commutative rings $A, B$ and epimorphism $phi : A to B$, for $f in B$, does there exist prime ideals of...

$begingroup$


Let's say I have two commutative rings $A, B$ and a ring epimorphism $phi : A to B$. this induces a continuous map $phi^* : operatorname{Spec}(B) to operatorname{Spec}(A)$. Let $f in B$ and choose $x in phi^{-1}(f)$, is it true that for any $mathfrak{q} in overline{V({x})}$ there exists a $mathfrak{p} in overline{V({f})}$ such that $mathfrak{q} = phi^{-1}(mathfrak{p})$? Note that $overline{V({x})}$ and $overline{V({f})}$ denote the complements of $V({x})$ and $V({f})$ respectively.



If this statement is true, then how can I prove this? I don't immediately see any way to prove this since the only things we know about $mathfrak{q}$ is that it is a prime ideal of $A$ that doesn't contain $x$, so I don't see any way I could tell what $mathfrak{p}$ would even be given so little information.

          This is not true, the morphism $phi^*$ is injective, but not necessarily surjective. Take $f=0$ and $x=0$, $V(0)=Spec(A)$. Then if $phi^*$ is not surjective take any $q$ which is not in its image.



          Example $phi:mathbb{Z}rightarrowmathbb{Z}/p$ where $p$ is a prime.
