Proposition 4.3.8 Qing Liu about flat morphisms of schemes

I have a problem with a detail of Qing Liu's proof of Proposition 4.3.8 (pag. 137 of "Algebraic Geometry and Arithmetic Curves"). The statement is: Let $Y$ be a scheme having only a finite ...

When do generizations ("generalizations") lift uniquely?

If $f : X \to Y$ is proper, then specializations lift along $f$, and uniquely. (This means, if $R$ is a discrete valuation ring with fraction field $K$ and I choose a factorization $\text{Spec}K \to ...

Flatness of affine cone due to semicontinuity theorem

I would like to clarify an important aspect from the discussion in this question. The OP discussed an obstacle to solve part (c) from Exercise 9.5 from Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry Chap. III page ...

Projection from closure of locally closed subscheme is Etale

Let $S$ an arbitrary scheme and denote by $\Delta: S \to S \times S$ the diagonal immersion and $p_i: S \times S \to S$ the both projections to first resp second factor. (in following we will wlog ...

on flat morphisms

Let $j:U\rightarrow X$ an open immersion between k-schemes of finite type and $f:X\rightarrow S$ a surjective k-morphism of finite type. We suppose that $f\circ j:U\rightarrow S$ is faithfully flat, ...

Idea behind Grothendieck's proof that formally smooth implies flat?

From this answer I learned that Grothendieck proved the following result. Theorem. Every formally smooth morphism between locally noetherian schemes is flat. The book Smoothness, Regularity, and ...

A Hartogs-type criterion for flatness

Let $U$ be a smooth affine connected variety over $\mathbb C$ and let $V\subset U$ be an open whose complement is of codimension at least two. Now, let $Y$ be a smooth quasi-affine connected variety ...

Affine hulls and base change

Let $S$ be a scheme. We consider the functor, called affine hull, from the category of quasicompact and quasiseparated $S$-schemes to the category of affine $S$-schemes, defined as a left adjoint to ...

Spreading out flat morphisms of schemes

In EGA IV, Chapter 8, projective systems of schemes (and morphisms between them) are considered. Let $(S_{\lambda})_{\lambda \in L}$ be a projective system of schemes and let $S$ be the projective ...

Is there a direct proof that affine schemes are fppf quasi-compact?

Let $A$ be a (commutative) ring. A family $(B_i)_{i\in I}$ of $A$-algebras is said to be an fppf cover if it satisfies three properties: (1) each $B_i$ is flat as an $A$-module, (2) each $B_i$ is ...

flat and finite type morphisms

Let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ a faithfully flat morphism between $k$-schemes. We assume that the fibers are locally of finite type, do we have that $f$ is locally of finite type?
