Lemma 33.40.5. Let $(A, \mathfrak m)$ be a strictly henselian $1$-dimensional reduced Nagata local ring. Then
If equality holds, then $A$ is a wedge of $n \geq 1$ strictly henselian discrete valuation rings.
Proof. The number of geometric branches is equal to the number of branches of $A$ (immediate from More on Algebra, Definition 15.106.6). Let $A \to A'$ be as in Lemma 33.39.2. Observe that the number of branches of $A$ is the number of maximal ideals of $A'$, see More on Algebra, Lemma 15.106.7. There is a surjection
Since $\dim _{\kappa (\mathfrak m)} \prod \kappa (\mathfrak m')$ is $\geq $ the number of branches, the inequality is obvious.
If equality holds, then $\kappa (\mathfrak m') = \kappa (\mathfrak m)$ for all $\mathfrak m' \subset A'$ and the displayed arrow above is an isomorphism. Since $A$ is henselian and $A \to A'$ is finite, we see that $A'$ is a product of local henselian rings, see Algebra, Lemma 10.153.4. The factors are the local rings $A'_{\mathfrak m'}$ and as $A'$ is normal, these factors are discrete valuation rings (Algebra, Lemma 10.119.7). Since the displayed arrow is an isomorphism we see that $A$ is indeed the wedge of these local rings. $\square$
