Use the same finite complex computing cohomology in a proper flat family. In fixed bases its differentials are matrices over . The condition that such a matrix have rank at most is closed, being defined by its minors. Since
the condition that this dimension be at least is a finite union of intersections of closed rank loci. It is therefore closed. This is the Semicontinuity theorem for coherent cohomology.
