Do étale coordinates give rise to a regular sequence of diagonal elements?

Fix an algebraic extension $k\subseteq K$ of fields of characteristic zero and consider a map of commutative rings $\phi\colon K\left[T_{1}^{\pm},\dots,T_{n}^{\pm}\right]\to A$ which is étale. Now ...

An etale cover of a semiperfect ring

Assume that $R$ is a semiperfect ring in characteristic $p$, i.e the frobenius is surjective on $R$. I think one can prove that an etale cover of $R$ should again be semiperfect by considering the ...

Images of smooth schemes under lci morphisms

Let $S$ be a Noetherian scheme, $f : X\to S$ a smooth quasi-projective morphism, $g : X\to Y$ a morphism of finite type, and $h : Y\to S$ a smooth projective morphism with $h\circ g =f$. Can we say ...

Flat scheme-theoretic closure

Suppose $R$ is a discrete valuation ring with fraction field $K$. Let $X\subset \mathbf{P}^n_{C_K}$ be a closed subscheme, flat over $C_K$, a smooth projective curve over $K$. Let $C_R$ be a flat ...

Strict henselianization of complete intersections

As far as I understand (and tbh for my purposes), one of the main points of strict henselisation of a local ring is that it computes the stalk at a point of a scheme in the étale topology. In the ...

Exactness of functor $ Et(B) \to \operatorname{(Ab)}, \ C \mapsto \mathcal{F}(C) $ (Etale Cohomology and the Weil Conjecture by Freitag, Kiehl )

I have question about a statement from Etale Cohomology and the Weil Conjecture by Freitag, Kiehl at the top of page 16. It seemingly uses the same notations as introduced at the bottom of page 15 and ...

Faithfully flat etale morphism from strictly Henselian ring (from Etale Cohomology and the Weil Conjecture by Freitag/Kiehl)

I have question about a statement found in Etale Cohomology and the Weil Conjecture by Freitag, Kiehl at the end of page 15. It starts with the Remark 1.18 : Let $A$ be a strictly Henselian ring (i.e. ...

On universally closed morphisms of reduced schemes

In this question I'd like to examine some properties of universally closed morphisms. The question is self-contained. It can also be seen as a follow-up to this question. Let $R$ be a discrete ...

The Mumford-Tate conjecture

The Mumford-Tate conjecture asserts that, via the Betti-étale comparison isomorphism, and for any smooth projective variety $ X $, over a number field $ K $, the $ \mathbb{Q}_{ \ell } $-linear ...

Henselization and completions of local rings & schemes

That's the second part of my coarse becoming acquainted with Henselizations of fields and local rings. (in this question we focus on local rings as it is more algebro geometric motivated). So let $(R,...

Structure theorem for etale algebras over a more general ring than a field

I call etale a finite-type flat $R$-algebra $A$ such that $\Omega_A =0$ (I hope this is the standard definition). In the case where $R=k$ is a field, any such algebra $A$ decomposes as a finite ...

Lifts of smooth algebras

Let $(R, I)$ be a Henselian pair, with $I$ a finitely generated ideal. We know that for any smooth $R/I$-algebra $A_0$, there exists a smooth $R$-algebra $A$ such that $A/I\simeq A_0$. We also know ...

Henselianizations over countable index sets

Let $A$ be a ring, $I\subset A$ a finitely generated ideal. The henselianization $A^h$ of $A$ along $I$ is the universal $A$-algebra that is henselian along $I$ and can be presented as a direct limit ...

Vector space objects in schemes - confusion

Let $R$ be the ring $\mathbf{C}\times\mathbf{C}$, and consider the affine line $\mathbf{A}^1_R$. $\mathbf{A}^1_R$ can be given the structure of additive group scheme over $R$, denoted $(\mathbf{G}_a)...

Picard group and reduced schemes

$\DeclareMathOperator\Pic{Pic}$If $A$ is a ring, then we know that $\Pic(A)=\Pic(A_\text{red})$, but for a scheme $X$ it is false in general. On the other hand, we have that $\Pic(X)=H^{1}_{et}(X,\...
