Lemma 37.62.22. Let f : X \to Y be a local complete intersection morphism of schemes. Then f is unramified if and only if f is formally unramified and in this case the conormal sheaf \mathcal{C}_{X/Y} is finite locally free on X.
Proof. The first assertion follows immediately from Lemma 37.6.8 and the fact that a local complete intersection morphism is locally of finite type. To compute the conormal sheaf of f we choose, locally on X, a factorization of f as f = p \circ i where i : X \to V is a Koszul-regular immersion and V \to Y is smooth. By Lemma 37.11.13 we see that \mathcal{C}_{X/Y} is a locally direct summand of \mathcal{C}_{X/V} which is finite locally free as i is a Koszul-regular (hence quasi-regular) immersion, see Divisors, Lemma 31.21.5. \square
