79.4 Local structure

Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $(U, R, s, t, c, e, i)$ be a groupoid in algebraic spaces over $S$. Let $\overline{u}$ be a geometric point of $U$. In this section we explain what kind of structure we obtain on the local rings (Properties of Spaces, Definition 66.22.2)

\[ A = \mathcal{O}_{U, \overline{u}} \quad \text{and}\quad B = \mathcal{O}_{R, e(\overline{u})} \]

The convention we will use is to denote the local ring homomorphisms induced by the morphisms $s, t, c, e, i$ by the corresponding letters. In particular we have a commutative diagram

\[ \xymatrix{ A \ar[rd]_ t \ar[rrd]^1 \\ & B \ar[r]^ e & A \\ A \ar[ru]^ s \ar[rru]_1 } \]

of local rings. Thus if $I \subset B$ denotes the kernel of $e : B \to A$, then $B = s(A) \oplus I = t(A) \oplus I$. Let us denote

\[ C = \mathcal{O}_{R \times _{s, U, t} R, (e, e)(\overline{u})} \]

Then we have

\[ C = (B \otimes _{s, A, t} B)_{\mathfrak m_ B \otimes B + B \otimes \mathfrak m_ B}^ h \]

because the localization $(B \otimes _{s, A, t} B)_{\mathfrak m_ B \otimes B + B \otimes \mathfrak m_ B}$ has separably closed residue field. Let $J \subset C$ be the ideal of $C$ generated by $I \otimes B + B \otimes I$. Then $J$ is also the kernel of the local ring homomorphism

\[ (e, e) : C \longrightarrow A \]

The composition law $c : R \times _{s, U, t} R \to R$ corresponds to a ring map

\[ c : B \longrightarrow C \]

sending $I$ into $J$.

Lemma 79.4.1. The map $I/I^2 \to J/J^2$ induced by $c$ is the composition

\[ I/I^2 \xrightarrow {(1, 1)} I/I^2 \oplus I/I^2 \to J/J^2 \]

where the second arrow comes from the equality $J = (I \otimes B + B \otimes I)C$. The map $i : B \to B$ induces the map $-1 : I/I^2 \to I/I^2$.

Proof. To describe a local homomorphism from $C$ to another henselian local ring it is enough to say what happens to elements of the form $b_1 \otimes b_2$ by Algebra, Lemma 10.155.6 for example. Keeping this in mind we have the two canonical maps

\[ e_2 : C \to B,\ b_1 \otimes b_2 \mapsto b_1s(e(b_2)),\quad e_1 : C \to B,\ b_1 \otimes b_2 \mapsto t(e(b_1))b_2 \]

corresponding to the embeddings $R \to R \times _{s, U, t} R$ given by $r \mapsto (r, e(s(r)))$ and $r \mapsto (e(t(r)), r)$. These maps define maps $J/J^2 \to I/I^2$ which jointly give an inverse to the map $I/I^2 \oplus I/I^2 \to J/J^2$ of the lemma. Thus to prove statement we only have to show that $e_1 \circ c : B \to B$ and $e_2 \circ c : B \to B$ are the identity maps. This follows from the fact that both compositions $R \to R \times _{s, U, t} R \to R$ are identities.

The statement on $i$ follows from the statement on $c$ and the fact that $c \circ (1, i) = e \circ t$. Some details omitted. $\square$
