Lemma 77.2.4. In Situation 77.2.1. Let (Y_1, y_1) \to (Y, y) be a morphism of pointed algebraic spaces over S. Assume Y_1 \to Y is flat at y_1. If (T \to Y, t' \leadsto t, \xi ) is an impurity of \mathcal{F} above y, then there exists an impurity (T_1 \to Y_1, t_1' \leadsto t_1, \xi _1) of the pullback \mathcal{F}_1 of \mathcal{F} to X_1 = Y_1 \times _ Y X over y_1 such that T_1 is étale over Y_1 \times _ Y T.
Proof. Choose an étale morphism T_1 \to Y_1 \times _ Y T where T_1 is a scheme and let t_1 \in T_1 be a point mapping to y_1 and t. It is possible to find a pair (T_1, t_1) like this by Properties of Spaces, Lemma 66.4.3. The morphism of schemes T_1 \to T is flat at t_1 (use Morphisms of Spaces, Lemma 67.30.4 and the definition of flat morphisms of algebraic spaces) there exists a specialization t'_1 \leadsto t_1 lying over t' \leadsto t, see Morphisms, Lemma 29.25.9. Choose a point \xi _1 \in |X_{T_1}| mapping to t'_1 and \xi with \xi _1 \in \text{Ass}_{X_{T_1}/T_1}(\mathcal{F}_{T_1}). point of \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\kappa (t'_1) \otimes _{\kappa (t')} \kappa (\xi )). This is possible by Divisors on Spaces, Lemma 71.4.7. As the closure Z_1 of \{ \xi _1\} in |X_{T_1}| maps into the closure of \{ \xi \} in |X_ T| we conclude that the image of Z_1 in |T_1| cannot contain t_1. Hence (T_1 \to Y_1, t'_1 \leadsto t_1, \xi _1) is an impurity of \mathcal{F}_1 above Y_1. \square
