Lemma 37.7.7. Let
\xymatrix{ Z \ar[r]_ h \ar[d]_ f & X \ar[d]^ g \\ W \ar[r]^{h'} & Y }
be a fibre product diagram in the category of schemes with h' formally unramified and g flat. In this case the corresponding map Z' \to W' of universal first order thickenings is flat, and f^*\mathcal{C}_{W/Y} \to \mathcal{C}_{Z/X} is an isomorphism.
Proof.
Flatness is preserved under base change, see Morphisms, Lemma 29.25.8. Hence the first statement follows from the description of W' in Lemma 37.7.6. It is clear that X \times _ Y W' is a first order thickening. It is straightforward to check that it has the universal property because W' has the universal property (by mapping properties of fibre products). See Morphisms, Lemma 29.31.4 for why this implies that the map of conormal sheaves is an isomorphism.
