58.23 Finite étale covers of punctured spectra, III

In this section we study when in Situation 58.19.1. the restriction functor

\mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _{U_0 \subset U' \subset U\text{ open}} \textit{FÉt}_{U'} \longrightarrow \textit{FÉt}_{U_0}

is an equivalence of categories.

Lemma 58.23.1. In Situation 58.19.1 assume

  1. A has a dualizing complex and is f-adically complete,

  2. one of the following is true

    1. A_ f is (S_2) and every irreducible component of X not contained in X_0 has dimension \geq 4, or

    2. if \mathfrak p \not\in V(f) and V(\mathfrak p) \cap V(f) \not= \{ \mathfrak m\} , then \text{depth}(A_\mathfrak p) + \dim (A/\mathfrak p) > 3.

Then the restriction functor

\mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _{U_0 \subset U' \subset U\text{ open}} \textit{FÉt}_{U'} \longrightarrow \textit{FÉt}_{U_0}

is an equivalence.

Proof. This follows from Lemma 58.17.4 and Algebraic and Formal Geometry, Lemma 52.24.1. \square

Lemma 58.23.2. In Situation 58.19.1 assume

  1. A is f-adically complete,

  2. f is a nonzerodivisor,

  3. H^1_\mathfrak m(A/fA) and H^2_\mathfrak m(A/fA) are finite A-modules.

Then the restriction functor

\mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _{U_0 \subset U' \subset U\text{ open}} \textit{FÉt}_{U'} \longrightarrow \textit{FÉt}_{U_0}

is an equivalence.

Proof. This follows from Lemma 58.17.4 and Algebraic and Formal Geometry, Lemma 52.24.2. \square

Remark 58.23.3. Let (A, \mathfrak m) be a complete local Noetherian ring and f \in \mathfrak m nonzero. Suppose that A_ f is (S_2) and every irreducible component of \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) has dimension \geq 4. Then Lemma 58.23.1 tells us that the category

\mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits \nolimits _{U' \subset U\text{ open, }U_0 \subset U} \text{ category of schemes finite étale over }U'

is equivalent to the category of schemes finite étale over U_0. For example this holds if A is a normal domain of dimension \geq 4!
