Lemma 30.23.9. Let $f : X \to Y$ be a morphism of Noetherian schemes. Let $\mathcal{J} \subset \mathcal{O}_ Y$ be a quasi-coherent sheaf of ideals and set $\mathcal{I} = f^{-1}\mathcal{J} \mathcal{O}_ X$. Then there is a right exact functor
which sends $(\mathcal{G}_ n)$ to $(f^*\mathcal{G}_ n)$. If $f$ is flat, then $f^*$ is an exact functor.
Proof. Since $f^* : \textit{Coh}(\mathcal{O}_ Y) \to \textit{Coh}(\mathcal{O}_ X)$ is right exact we have
hence the pullback of a system is a system. The construction of cokernels in the proof of Lemma 30.23.2 shows that $f^* : \textit{Coh}(Y, \mathcal{J}) \to \textit{Coh}(X, \mathcal{I})$ is always right exact. If $f$ is flat, then $f^* : \textit{Coh}(\mathcal{O}_ Y) \to \textit{Coh}(\mathcal{O}_ X)$ is an exact functor. It follows from the construction of kernels in the proof of Lemma 30.23.2 that in this case $f^* : \textit{Coh}(Y, \mathcal{J}) \to \textit{Coh}(X, \mathcal{I})$ also transforms kernels into kernels. $\square$
