Images of smooth schemes under lci morphisms

Let $S$ be a Noetherian scheme, $f : X\to S$ a smooth quasi-projective morphism, $g : X\to Y$ a morphism of finite type, and $h : Y\to S$ a smooth projective morphism with $h\circ g =f$. Can we say ...

Flat scheme-theoretic closure

Suppose $R$ is a discrete valuation ring with fraction field $K$. Let $X\subset \mathbf{P}^n_{C_K}$ be a closed subscheme, flat over $C_K$, a smooth projective curve over $K$. Let $C_R$ be a flat ...

On universally closed morphisms of reduced schemes

In this question I'd like to examine some properties of universally closed morphisms. The question is self-contained. It can also be seen as a follow-up to this question. Let $R$ be a discrete ...

Lifts of smooth algebras

Let $(R, I)$ be a Henselian pair, with $I$ a finitely generated ideal. We know that for any smooth $R/I$-algebra $A_0$, there exists a smooth $R$-algebra $A$ such that $A/I\simeq A_0$. We also know ...

Henselianizations over countable index sets

Let $A$ be a ring, $I\subset A$ a finitely generated ideal. The henselianization $A^h$ of $A$ along $I$ is the universal $A$-algebra that is henselian along $I$ and can be presented as a direct limit ...

Vector space objects in schemes - confusion

Let $R$ be the ring $\mathbf{C}\times\mathbf{C}$, and consider the affine line $\mathbf{A}^1_R$. $\mathbf{A}^1_R$ can be given the structure of additive group scheme over $R$, denoted $(\mathbf{G}_a)...

Special formal lifts of smooth algebras

Let $A$ be a smooth algebra over $k$ a finite field. Say $B$ is a $p$-adically complete smooth algebra over the Witt ring $W(k)$, lifting $A$. Assume $B$ is of the form $W(k)\langle t_1,\ldots, t_n\...

Smooth algebras always lift

Let $k$ be a finite field, $A$ a smooth $k$-algebra. Does there exists a smooth algebra $B$ over the Witt vectors $W(k)$, such that $B/p\simeq A$? How is it constructed?

Liftings and closed immersions

Let $A$ be a flat $\mathbf{Z}_p$-algebra, $\overline{I}\subset A/p$ an ideal. Can we find an ideal $I\subset A$ such that $I$ mod $p$ = $\overline{I}$ $I$ does not contain $p$. It's harder than it ...

Commutative algebra counterexample

Let $M$ be an $R[x]$-module, such that $M$ is finitely generated as an $R$-module. Does there exist one such $M$, such that $M\otimes_{R[x]}R[x,x^{-1}]$ is not finitely generated as an $R$-module?

A question on direct limits of rings, and descent of ideals

Motivated by an étale cohomology calculation I am going to do, here is a question that should have positive and not too hard answer. Let $A$ be a ring, $A_0$ a ring such that $A_0$ is equipped with ...
