Jul 31, 2020 at 13:26 comment added Jason Starr Actually the hypothesis beginning, "Assume that ...", implies that a reduced, pure-dimensional, finite type $k$-scheme is a local complete intersection.

Jul 31, 2020 at 0:59 comment added Sándor Kovács Another way this can fail is if $X$ (or equivalently the special fiber) is not Gorenstein.
Jul 30, 2020 at 22:39 comment added Jason Starr I guess that the simplest explicit example is a curve $X$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$ that is the intersection of a quadric surface with a single ordinary double point $p$ and a cubic surface that has an ordinary double point at $p$ (and whose tangent cone is different from the first quadric surface). This curve has arithmetic genus $4$ and geometric genus $0$. It generizes to a smooth, canonically embedded curve of genus $4$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$. Yet the embedding dimension of the curve at $p$ equals $3$.
Jul 30, 2020 at 21:19 comment added Jason Starr That is not true. If there is such a regular proper flat model, then the embedding dimension of $X$ is everywhere locally bounded by $1+\text{dim}(X)$. Now consider a reduced curve with embedding dimension $3$ and apply the Hilbert-Burch(-Schaps) theorem.
