Unramified morphisms #
An R
-algebra A
is formally unramified if for every R
-algebra,
every square-zero ideal I : Ideal B
and f : A →ₐ[R] B ⧸ I
, there exists
at most one lift A →ₐ[R] B
.
It is unramified if it is formally unramified and of finite type.
Note that there are multiple definitions in the literature. The definition we give is equivalent to the one in the Stacks Project https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/00US. Note that in EGA unramified is defined as formally unramified and of finite presentation.
We show that the property extends onto nilpotent ideals, and that it is stable
under R
-algebra homomorphisms and compositions.
We show that unramified is stable under algebra isomorphisms, composition and localization at an element.

This holds in general for epimorphisms.
This actually does not need the localization instance, and is stated here again for
consistency. See Algebra.FormallyUnramified.of_comp
instead.
The intended use is for copying proofs between Formally{Unramified, Smooth, Etale}
without the need to change anything (including removing redundant arguments).

Note that the Stacks project has a different definition of unramified, and tag https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/00UU shows that their definition is the same as this one.

Localization at an element is unramified.
Unramified is stable under composition.
