= Fiber primes of an integral extension

For an integral extension $A\subseteq B$ and $\mathfrak p\in\operatorname{Spec}A$, localization gives a bijection
$$
\{\mathfrak q\in\operatorname{Spec}B:\mathfrak q\cap A=\mathfrak p\}
\longleftrightarrow
\operatorname{MaxSpec}((A\setminus\mathfrak p)^{-1}B).
$$
It combines the <prime ideal correspondence for localization> with the <contraction of a maximal ideal under an integral extension>.
