From agreement on a completed stalk to agreement on a neighbourhood #
In the proof of Theorem 92 ([Kol07, 95]) Kollár passes from the completion to a neighbourhood:
the conditions (91.1)–(91.4) hold after completion at (p, p), so "(91.1′–4′) also hold in an open
neighborhood U(p) ∋ (p, p) by (55)". Conditions (1′)–(3′) are equalities of ideal sheaves,
spread out by exists_comap_eq_of_map_adicCompletion_eq.
Condition (4′) is the equality of two morphisms ψ, ψ' on the closed subscheme V(M),
M = MC(ψ^*I); this file spreads it out from the completion at q. The argument (not in the
sources; Kollár's appeal to [Kol07, Definition 55] applied to the equalizer):
- faithful flatness of the completion descends
ψ̂^*(x) − ψ̂'^*(x) ∈ M̂_qtoψ^*(s) − ψ'^*(s) ∈ M_q, so the two compositesg, g' : V(M) ⇉ Xhave the same stalk map at the pointzoverq(the stalk map ofV(M) → Watzhas kernelM_q); - two morphisms with the same stalk map at
zagree after composing withSpec 𝒪_{V(M),z} → V(M)(fromSpecStalk_comp_eq_of_stalkMap_eq, Mathlib'sSpecMap_stalkMap_fromSpecStalk), soSpec 𝒪_{V(M),z}lifts to their equalizerE; - the equalizer of two morphisms of schemes is an immersion (Mathlib), i.e. a closed subscheme of
an open
coborder(E) ⊆ V(M); the lift makesza point ofEat which the stalk map of the immersion is bijective, so the kernel of the closed partE → coborder(E)has zero stalk atzand vanishes on an open neighbourhood (V(M)is locally Noetherian); over that open the closed immersion is an isomorphism (isIso_iff_ker_eq_bot), giving an open immersionjintoV(M)throughzwithj ≫ g = j ≫ g'(exists_openImmersion_comp_eq_of_lift); - the open subset
range jof the closedV(M)is the trace of an openV ⊆ W; the subschemeV(M|_V) = V(M) ×_W Vfactors throughj, henceψ = ψ'on it (AgreeOn).
If q ∉ V(M), the complement of V(M) is the neighbourhood and V(M|_V) = ∅.
No hypothesis on the k-structures of ψ, ψ' is needed: the argument never chooses generators.
Two morphisms g, g' : T ⟶ X with the same image point and the same stalk map at t agree
after composing with the canonical Spec 𝒪_{T,t} ⟶ T (Mathlib's SpecMap_stalkMap_fromSpecStalk,
with the stalks transported along the two image-point equalities).
The core of the spreading-out argument, on an arbitrary locally Noetherian scheme Z: an
immersion e : E ⟶ Z equalizing g, g' : Z ⟶ X, together with a lift of Spec 𝒪_{Z,z} ⟶ Z
through e, yields an open immersion j into Z whose image contains z and on which g = g'.
Route: the closed part E → coborder(E) of the immersion has a kernel with zero stalk at z (the
lift makes the stalk map of e at the point over z injective), hence vanishing on an open
neighbourhood (Krull's intersection theorem, exists_comap_eq_of_stalkIdeal_eq), over which the
closed immersion is an isomorphism (IsClosedImmersion.isIso_iff_ker_eq_bot).
Kollár's "(91.1′–4′) also hold in an open neighborhood U(p) ∋ (p, p) by (55)" ([Kol07, 95]),
for the condition (4′): for an étale neighbourhood pair Q of p and an ideal sheaf M on W,
if ψ̂^*(x) − ψ̂'^*(x) ∈ M̂_q for every x ∈ Ô_{X,p}, then there is an open V ∋ q on which ψ
and ψ' agree on the closed subscheme V(M|_V) (AgreeOn). Faithful flatness descends the
hypothesis to the stalk; the two composites V(M) ⇉ X then agree on the stalk at the point over
q, so q lies in their equalizer with an isomorphic stalk there, and the equalizer contains an
open neighbourhood of q in V(M) because W is locally Noetherian
(exists_openImmersion_comp_eq_of_lift).
