Lemma 25.33.3. Let $$ \xymatrix{ Z \ar[r]_i \ar[d]_f & X \ar[d]^g \\ Z' \ar[r]^{i'} & X' } $$ be a commutative diagram in the category of schemes. Assume $i$, $i'$ immersions. There is a canonical map of $\mathcal{O}_Z$-modules $$ f^*\mathcal{C}_{Z'/X'} \longrightarrow \mathcal{C}_{Z/X} $$ characterized by the following property: For every pair of affine opens $(\mathop{\rm Spec}(R) = U \subset X, \mathop{\rm Spec}(R') = U' \subset X')$ with $f(U) \subset U'$ such that $Z \cap U = \mathop{\rm Spec}(R/I)$ and $Z' \cap U' = \mathop{\rm Spec}(R'/I')$ the induced map $$ \Gamma(Z' \cap U', \mathcal{C}_{Z'/X'}) = I'/I'^2 \longrightarrow I/I^2 = \Gamma(Z \cap U, \mathcal{C}_{Z/X}) $$ is the one induced by the ring map $f^\sharp : R' \to R$ which has the property $f^\sharp(I') \subset I$.

Proof. Let $\partial Z' = \overline{Z'} \setminus Z'$ and $\partial Z = \overline{Z} \setminus Z$. These are closed subsets of $X'$ and of $X$. Replacing $X'$ by $X' \setminus \partial Z'$ and $X$ by $X \setminus \big(g^{-1}(\partial Z') \cup \partial Z\big)$ we see that we may assume that $i$ and $i'$ are closed immersions.

The fact that $g \circ i$ factors through $i'$ implies that $g^*\mathcal{I}'$ maps into $\mathcal{I}$ under the canonical map $g^*\mathcal{I}' \to \mathcal{O}_X$, see Schemes, Lemmas 22.4.6 and 22.4.7. Hence we get an induced map of quasi-coherent sheaves $g^*(\mathcal{I}'/(\mathcal{I}')^2) \to \mathcal{I}/\mathcal{I}^2$. Pulling back by $i$ gives $i^*g^*(\mathcal{I}'/(\mathcal{I}')^2) \to i^*(\mathcal{I}/\mathcal{I}^2)$. Note that $i^*(\mathcal{I}/\mathcal{I}^2) = \mathcal{C}_{Z/X}$. On the other hand, $i^*g^*(\mathcal{I}'/(\mathcal{I}')^2) = f^*(i')^*(\mathcal{I}'/(\mathcal{I}')^2) = f^*\mathcal{C}_{Z'/X'}$. This gives the desired map.

Checking that the map is locally described as the given map $I'/(I')^2 \to I/I^2$ is a matter of unwinding the definitions and is omitted. Another observation is that given any $x \in i(Z)$ there do exist affine open neighbourhoods $U$, $U'$ with $f(U) \subset U'$ and $Z \cap U$ as well as $U' \cap Z'$ closed such that $x \in U$. Proof omitted. Hence the requirement of the lemma indeed characterizes the map (and could have been used to define it). $\square$

\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-conormal-functorial}
Let
$$
\xymatrix{
Z \ar[r]_i \ar[d]_f & X \ar[d]^g \\
Z' \ar[r]^{i'} & X'
}
$$
be a commutative diagram in the category of schemes.
Assume $i$, $i'$ immersions. There is a canonical map
of $\mathcal{O}_Z$-modules
$$
f^*\mathcal{C}_{Z'/X'}
\longrightarrow
\mathcal{C}_{Z/X}
$$
characterized by the following property: For every pair of affine opens
$(\Spec(R) = U \subset X, \Spec(R') = U' \subset X')$ with
$f(U) \subset U'$ such that
$Z \cap U = \Spec(R/I)$ and $Z' \cap U' = \Spec(R'/I')$
the induced map
$$
\Gamma(Z' \cap U', \mathcal{C}_{Z'/X'}) = I'/I'^2
\longrightarrow
I/I^2 = \Gamma(Z \cap U, \mathcal{C}_{Z/X})
$$
is the one induced by the ring map $f^\sharp : R' \to R$ which
has the property $f^\sharp(I') \subset I$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Let $\partial Z' = \overline{Z'} \setminus Z'$ and
$\partial Z = \overline{Z} \setminus Z$. These are closed subsets of $X'$ and
of $X$. Replacing $X'$ by $X' \setminus \partial Z'$ and $X$ by
$X \setminus \big(g^{-1}(\partial Z') \cup \partial Z\big)$ we
see that we may assume that $i$ and $i'$ are closed immersions.

\medskip\noindent
The fact that $g \circ i$ factors through $i'$ implies that
$g^*\mathcal{I}'$ maps into $\mathcal{I}$ under the canonical
map $g^*\mathcal{I}' \to \mathcal{O}_X$, see
Schemes, Lemmas
\ref{schemes-lemma-characterize-closed-subspace} and
\ref{schemes-lemma-restrict-map-to-closed}.
Hence we get an induced map of quasi-coherent sheaves
$g^*(\mathcal{I}'/(\mathcal{I}')^2) \to \mathcal{I}/\mathcal{I}^2$.
Pulling back by $i$ gives
$i^*g^*(\mathcal{I}'/(\mathcal{I}')^2) \to i^*(\mathcal{I}/\mathcal{I}^2)$.
Note that $i^*(\mathcal{I}/\mathcal{I}^2) = \mathcal{C}_{Z/X}$.
On the other hand,
$i^*g^*(\mathcal{I}'/(\mathcal{I}')^2) =
f^*(i')^*(\mathcal{I}'/(\mathcal{I}')^2) = f^*\mathcal{C}_{Z'/X'}$.
This gives the desired map.

\medskip\noindent
Checking that the map is locally described as the given map
$I'/(I')^2 \to I/I^2$ is a matter of unwinding the definitions
and is omitted. Another observation is that given any
$x \in i(Z)$ there do exist affine open neighbourhoods $U$, $U'$
with $f(U) \subset U'$ and $Z \cap U$ as well as $U' \cap Z'$
closed such that $x \in U$. Proof omitted. Hence the requirement
of the lemma indeed characterizes the map (and could have been used
to define it).
