Lemma 41.17.1. Let f : X \to S be a morphism of schemes. Let x_1, \ldots , x_ n \in X be points having the same image s in S. Assume f is unramified at each x_ i. Then there exists an étale neighbourhood (U, u) \to (S, s) and opens V_{i, j} \subset X_ U, i = 1, \ldots , n, j = 1, \ldots , m_ i such that

  1. V_{i, j} \to U is a closed immersion passing through u,

  2. u is not in the image of V_{i, j} \cap V_{i', j'} unless i = i' and j = j', and

  3. any point of (X_ U)_ u mapping to x_ i is in some V_{i, j}.

Proof. By Morphisms, Definition 29.35.1 there exists an open neighbourhood of each x_ i which is locally of finite type over S. Replacing X by an open neighbourhood of \{ x_1, \ldots , x_ n\} we may assume f is locally of finite type. Apply More on Morphisms, Lemma 37.41.3 to get the étale neighbourhood (U, u) and the opens V_{i, j} finite over U. By Lemma 41.7.3 after possibly shrinking U we get that V_{i, j} \to U is a closed immersion. \square
