Apr 8, 2019 at 15:37 comment added user74900 @SándorKovács thank you for your clarification. I meant, if you have a surjective non-birational morphism between connected smooth $\mathbb{C}$-schemes, can non-flat locus be non-empty of codimension$\geq 2$?
Apr 8, 2019 at 15:27 comment added Sándor Kovács @AknazarKazhymurat: if the target is normal, then by Zariski's Main Theorem a birational morphism is flat exactly where it is an isomorphism. Same with "equidimensional" or "étale" replacing "flat".
Apr 8, 2019 at 13:41 comment added user74900 @SándorKovács in the link they talk about etale morphisms. Is the following reasoning correct? A surjective morphism between connected smooth schemes of finite type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 is smooth on a non-empty open set of the source (I am not sure if this is true). Then smooth morphisms are etale locally affine spaces (stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/054L).
Apr 8, 2019 at 4:25 comment added Sándor Kovács @AknazarKazhymurat: yes, you are right. (See stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/0EA4). However, in these examples only one of the players is smooth. :)
Apr 8, 2019 at 4:24 comment added Sándor Kovács @PiotrAchinger: I changed the notation to make it clearer. In the first step the target is singular and the source is smooth and in the next the other way around. Cheers.

Apr 7, 2019 at 8:44 comment added user74900 if I understand correctly, for a surjective birational morphism between connected smooth schemes of finite type over $\mathbb{C}$, the non-flat locus can not be non-empty of codimension $\geq 2$. Is it true that the non-flat locus of a surjective morphism between connected smooth schemes of finite type over $\mathbb{C}$ can not be non-empty of codimension $\geq 2$?

Apr 7, 2019 at 3:36 comment added Sándor Kovács @PiotrAchinger: I didn't claim that $X$ was smooth.
Apr 7, 2019 at 3:00 comment added Piotr Achinger The second example ($X$ and $Y$ smooth, $f$ iso away from a curve in $X$) seems to contradict van den Waerden's theorem. What am I missing?
Apr 7, 2019 at 2:15 comment added Sándor Kovács @StepanBanach: I added an example where $Y$ is smooth

Apr 5, 2019 at 18:03 comment added user137767 what happens if $Y$ is smooth?
