Smooth morphisms under base change, Qing Liu's proposition 4.3.38

I have a concern about the first assertion in the proof of proposition 4.3.38 of Qing liu's "Algebraic Geometry and Arithmetic Curves". Referring to smooth morphisms, he says "The ...

Is every variety an image of a smooth variety?

Let $X$ be a finite type scheme over a field $k$. Is it true that there exists a surjective morphism $f : Y \rightarrow X$, where $Y$ is smooth over $k$? In other words, is every such scheme a ...

etale locally infinitesimal lifting property

For a morphism $X\rightarrow Y$ of qcqs schemes, one has the usual notion of formal smoothness which says that for a pair $(R,I)$ with $I^2=0$, if there is a point $y\in Y(R)$ such that $y_{\vert R/I}$...

Morphism between jet spaces smooth

In this article "Introduction to Jet Schemes and Arc Spaces" S. Ishii introduces the spaces of $m$-jets: Let $X$ be a variety over algebraically closed field $k$. The space $X_m$ of $m$-jets ...

Formally smooth maps of schemes and factorization systems

I am thinking about how formally smooth maps of schemes relate to factorization systems. Let $C$ be the category of schemes. Let $E$ be the class of morphisms of schemes consisting of closed ...

Factorizations of closed embeddings of smooth schemes

All schemes will be of finite type over a field $k$. Say I have a closed embedding $\iota: X \hookrightarrow Y$ of smooth $S$-schemes for some scheme $S$ (in particular it is a regular embedding). ...

Formal smoothness implies local freeness of the sheaf of relative differentials

What is the least restrictive finiteness assumptions guaranteeing that for a formally smooth morphism of schemes $f:X\rightarrow Y$, the sheaf of relative differentials $\Omega _{X/Y}$ would be ...

on the local structure of schemes

Let $X$ be an integral finite type scheme over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $x\in X$, such that there exists a neighborhood $U$ of $x$, such that the sheaf of differentials $\Omega^{1}_{U}$ decomposes into: $\...

Blow up along a section of a smooth morphism

Let $C$ be a ground locally notherian and quasiprojective scheme. Let $\pi:S\to B$ be a $C$-morphism of finite type $C$-schemes. We call $\pi$ a $C$-smooth morphism if the morphisms $S\to C$ and $B\to ...

Can one check formal smoothness using only one-variable Artin rings?

Let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be a morphism of schemes over a field $k$. Can one check that $f$ is formally smooth using only Artin rings of the form $k^{\prime}\left[t\right]/t^{n}$, where $k^{\prime}$ is ...

Smoothness and smoothness over formal neighborhood

Let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ a locally finitely presented map. Let $x\in X$ and $y=f(x)$. We assume that the map on the level of fomal neighborhoods $X_{x}\rightarrow Y_{y}$ is formally smooth, can we find ...

scheme of sections over complete local ring

Let $f:X\rightarrow S= Spec(k[[\pi]])$ a finite type faithfully flat morphism. Let $U\subset X$ be an open subset such that $U$ is smooth and surjective on $S$. We consider the $k$-scheme $X(k[[\pi]]...

Is there an example of a formally smooth morphism which is not smooth?

A morphism of schemes is formally smooth and locally of finite presentation iff it is smooth. What happens if we drop the finitely presented hypothesis? Of course, locally of finite presentation is ...
