Oct 4, 2010 at 12:06 comment added Angelo Sorry, I withdraw my statement that $Y$ should always be l.c.i. in characteristic 0, I was confused, as it ofter happens.

Oct 4, 2010 at 10:04 comment added Francesco Polizzi Oh, I see. I misread the question and I missed the requirement that $D$ should be simple normal crossing. Thank you for pointing it out, I will edit the answer.
Oct 4, 2010 at 9:46 comment added Angelo To Francesco: A curve on a surface is a normal crossing divisor when it has nodal singularities, thus cannot have more than two branches through each point.

Oct 4, 2010 at 9:38 comment added Francesco Polizzi @Angelo: I checked the construction and I found no errors. Maybe I'm missing something, but I do not understand exactly what. How do you exactly use Abhyankar's lemma to prove that $Y$ must be lci? As far as I know, it says that I can get rid of (tame) ramification by taking a finite, branched cover $Z \to \mathbb{P}^2$...
Oct 4, 2010 at 9:27 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar @Angelo: I'm a bit confused. Does your statement imply that if X is fibered over a Dedekind scheme B with function field K(B) of characteristic zero, the morphism \pi is a local complete intersection (in the sense of Liu Section 4.6.2)?
Oct 4, 2010 at 9:19 comment added Angelo I am afraid that your $D$ is not a normal crossing divisor. In characteristic 0 the scheme $Y$ should always be l.c.i., because of Abhyankar's Lemma.
