Local structure of unramified algebras #
In this file, we will prove that if S is a finite type R-algebra unramified at Q, then
there exists f ∉ Q and a standard etale algebra A over R that surjects onto S[1/f].
Geometrically, this says that unramified morphisms locally are closed subsets of etale covers.
As a corollary, we also obtain results about the local structure of etale and smooth algebras.

The predicate "there exists a standard etale algebra A over R that surjects onto S[1/f]".
We shall show if S is R-unramified at Q then there exists f ∉ Q satisfying it.
Equations
Instances For
Let S be an finite R-algebra that is unramified at some prime Q. Then there exists some
x : S such that Q is the unique prime lying over P := Q ∩ R⟨x⟩ and κ(P) = κ(Q).
Given S a finitely presented R-algebra, and p a prime of S. If S is smooth over R
at p, then there exists f ∉ p such that R → S[1/f] factors through some R[X₁,...,Xₙ],
and that S[1/f] is standard etale over R[X₁,...,Xₙ].
