Lemma 58.26.2. Let (A, \mathfrak m) be a Noetherian local ring of depth \geq 2. Let B = A[[x_1, \ldots , x_ d]] with d \geq 1. For any open V \subset Y = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B) which contains
any prime \mathfrak q \subset B such that \mathfrak q \cap A \not= \mathfrak m,
the prime \mathfrak m B
the functor \textit{FÉt}_ Y \to \textit{FÉt}_ V is an equivalence. In particular purity holds for B.
Proof.
A prime \mathfrak q \subset B which is not contained in V lies over \mathfrak m. In this case A \to B_\mathfrak q is a flat local homomorphism and hence \text{depth}(B_\mathfrak q) \geq 2 (Algebra, Lemma 10.163.2). Thus the functor is fully faithful by Lemma 58.10.3 combined with Local Cohomology, Lemma 51.3.1.
Let W \to V be a finite étale morphism. Let B \to C be the unique finite ring map such that \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(C) \to Y is the finite morphism extending W \to V constructed in Lemma 58.21.5. Observe that C = \Gamma (W, \mathcal{O}_ W).
Set Y_0 = V(x_1, \ldots , x_ d) and V_0 = V \cap Y_0. Set X = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A). If we use the map Y \to X to identify Y_0 with X, then V_0 is identified with the punctured spectrum U of A. Thus we may view W_0 = W \times _ Y Y_0 as a finite étale scheme over U. Then
W_0 \times _ U (U \times _ X Y) \quad \text{and}\quad W \times _ V (U \times _ X Y)
are schemes finite étale over U \times _ X Y which restrict to isomorphic finite étale schemes over V_0. By Lemma 58.26.1 applied to the open U \times _ X Y we obtain an isomorphism
W_0 \times _ U (U \times _ X Y) \longrightarrow W \times _ V (U \times _ X Y)
over U \times _ X Y.
Observe that C_0 = \Gamma (W_0, \mathcal{O}_{W_0}) is a finite A-algebra by Lemma 58.21.5 applied to W_0 \to U \subset X (exactly as we did for B \to C above). Since the construction in Lemma 58.21.5 is compatible with flat base change and with change of opens, the isomorphism above induces an isomorphism
\Psi : C \longrightarrow C_0 \otimes _ A B
of finite B-algebras. However, we know that \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(C) \to Y is étale at all points above at least one point of Y lying over \mathfrak m \in X. Since \Psi is an isomorphism, we conclude that \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(C_0) \to X is étale above \mathfrak m (small detail omitted). Of course this means that A \to C_0 is finite étale and hence B \to C is finite étale.
