1. $A \otimes _{A_0} B_0 \to A \otimes _{A_0} C_0$ is smooth,

2. $B_0 \to C_0$ is of finite presentation.

Then for some $i \geq 0$ the map $A_ i \otimes _{A_0} B_0 \to A_ i \otimes _{A_0} C_0$ is smooth.

Proof. Write $C_0 = B_0[x_1, \ldots , x_ n]/(f_{1, 0}, \ldots , f_{m, 0})$. Write $B_ i = A_ i \otimes _{A_0} B_0$ and $C_ i = A_ i \otimes _{A_0} C_0$. Note that $C_ i = B_ i[x_1, \ldots , x_ n]/(f_{1, i}, \ldots , f_{m, i})$ where $f_{j, i}$ is the image of $f_{j, 0}$ in the polynomial ring over $B_ i$. Write $B = A \otimes _{A_0} B_0$ and $C = A \otimes _{A_0} C_0$. Note that $C = B[x_1, \ldots , x_ n]/(f_1, \ldots , f_ m)$ where $f_ j$ is the image of $f_{j, 0}$ in the polynomial ring over $B$. The assumption is that the map

$\text{d} : (f_1, \ldots , f_ m)/(f_1, \ldots , f_ m)^2 \longrightarrow \bigoplus C \text{d}x_ k$

is a split injection. Let $\xi _ k \in (f_1, \ldots , f_ m)/(f_1, \ldots , f_ m)^2$ be elements such that $\sum (\partial f_ j/\partial x_ k) \xi _ k = f_ j \bmod (f_1, \ldots , f_ m)^2$. Then for sufficiently large $i$ we can find elements

$\xi _{k, i} \in (f_{1, i}, \ldots , f_{m, i})/(f_{1, i}, \ldots , f_{m, i})^2$

with $\sum (\partial f_{j, i}/\partial x_ k) \xi _{k, i} = f_{j, i} \bmod (f_{1, i}, \ldots , f_{m, i})^2$ since this is true in the limit. Then this $i$ works. $\square$
