Lemma 81.5.2. Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $f : Y' \to Y$ be a proper morphism of algebraic spaces over $S$. Let $i : Z \to Y$ be a closed immersion. Set $E = Z \times _ Y Y'$. Picture

\[ \xymatrix{ E \ar[d]_ g \ar[r]_ j & Y' \ar[d]^ f \\ Z \ar[r]^ i & Y } \]

If $f$ is an isomorphism over $Y \setminus Z$, then the functor

\[ Y_{spaces, {\acute{e}tale}} \longrightarrow Y'_{spaces, {\acute{e}tale}} \times _{E_{spaces, {\acute{e}tale}}} Z_{spaces, {\acute{e}tale}} \]

is an equivalence of categories.

Proof. Let $(V' \to Y', W \to Z, \alpha )$ be an object of the right hand side. Recall that $V'$, resp. $W$ gives rise to a representable sheaf $\mathcal{G}' = h_{V'}$ in $\mathop{\mathit{Sh}}\nolimits (Y'_{spaces, {\acute{e}tale}}) = \mathop{\mathit{Sh}}\nolimits (Y'_{\acute{e}tale})$, resp. $\mathcal{G} = h_ W$ in $\mathop{\mathit{Sh}}\nolimits (Z_{spaces, {\acute{e}tale}}) = \mathop{\mathit{Sh}}\nolimits (Z_{\acute{e}tale})$, see Properties of Spaces, Section 66.18. The isomorphism $\alpha : V' \times _{Y'} E \to W \times _ Z E$ determines an isomorphism $j_{small}^{-1}\mathcal{G}' \to g_{small}^{-1}\mathcal{G}$ of sheaves on $E$. By Lemma 81.4.7 we obtain a unique sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $Y$ pulling pack to $\mathcal{G}'$ and $\mathcal{G}$ compatibly with the isomorphism. By Properties of Spaces, Lemma 66.27.3 we obtain an étale morphism $V \to Y$ of algebraic spaces corresponding to $\mathcal{F}$; we omit the verification of the set theoretic condition1. The given isomorphism $\mathcal{G}' \to f_{small}^{-1}\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G} \to i_{small}^{-1}\mathcal{F}$ corresponds to isomorphisms $V' \to V \times _ Y Y'$ and $W \to V \times _ Y Z$ compatible with $\alpha $ as desired. $\square$

[1] It follows from the fact that $\mathcal{G}$ and $\mathcal{G}'$ satisfies the corresponding condition.
