Aug 28, 2014 at 17:54 comment added matthew @Will Sawin: The $X_i\times_{Y_i} X_i$ need not necessarily come from a base change $Y_i\rightarrow Y$
Aug 28, 2014 at 11:58 comment added Will Sawin @matthew: I didn't see that part of the question. The answer is not always. Take $X = \mathbb G_m$, $Y=\mathbb G_m$, with the map the squaring map. Then the fiber product is the disjoint union of two copies of the base, so any base change will be irreducible.

Aug 28, 2014 at 7:05 comment added matthew @Laurent Moret-Just a set of indices corresponding to the cover morphisms. I'll edit the post to make it clearer
Aug 28, 2014 at 6:50 comment added Laurent Moret-Bailly What does the index $i$ mean?
Aug 28, 2014 at 4:51 comment added matthew @Will Savin:Why are the resulting schemes irreducible?

Aug 28, 2014 at 2:56 comment added Will Sawin Can't one take $Y_i$ an etale cover of $Y$ and $X_i = X \times_Y Y_i$? Fiber product and blow-up are both etale-local constructions, so everything will just be a base change from $Y$ to $Y_i$, hence etale.

Aug 28, 2014 at 0:07 comment added matthew Sorry, $W$ is the blowup of fiber product along the diagonal $W=Bl_{\Delta}X\times_Y X$, I'll edit the post.
Aug 28, 2014 at 0:05 comment added dhy What are you denoting by $W$?
