Oct 15, 2017 at 6:16 comment added user2831784 Thanks. In Proposition 1, in order to see that each irreducible component $Y_{i}$ of $Y$ has constant relative dimension over $X$, I guess we can use e.g. math.stanford.edu/~conrad/249BW17Page/handouts/fiberdim.pdf.

Oct 7, 2017 at 23:04 comment added user2831784 (4) Regarding the use of Krull's Hauptidealsatz in Proposition 1: I guess the local flatness criterion gives us that multiplication by $t$ will be injective on $\mathcal{O}_{Y \times_{X} \operatorname{Spec} \mathcal{O}_{X,x}}$. Then since everything is Noetherian, we should be able to take $W$ small enough that the lift $t_{W}$ is also a nonzerodivisor on $\mathcal{O}_{Y \times_{X} W}$.
Oct 7, 2017 at 22:58 comment added user2831784 (3) Regarding Proposition 1: I guess it doesn't matter for the counterexample to my question since we are working over an algebraically closed field, but wouldn't we need to know that the field $k$ in $x : \text{Spec}\ k \to X$ is infinite, in order to ensure that we can take $t_{x}$ to be linear? In any case, unless I am mistaken, it seems to me that the linearity of $t_{x}$ is not used in the proof.

Oct 7, 2017 at 22:16 comment added user2831784 Thanks very much for the extended answer. Can I ask some clarifying questions? (1) In Proposition 1, I guess we may assume that $X$ is also affine (by taking an affine open cover of the image of $p$ in the beginning), in order to get the closed immersion $e$? (2) In Proposition 1, why is $Y_{\text{equi}}$ nonempty?
