Regular local rings of schemes #

On an affine open with Noetherian ring of sections, regularity of that ring is equivalent to regularity of the local rings at every point of the open. In particular, a Noetherian ring is regular exactly when the local rings of its spectrum are regular. Open immersions identify local rings, so they preserve and reflect their regularity.

More generally, a flat, formally unramified morphism f : X ⟢ Y locally of finite type (for instance an Γ©tale morphism) induces at each point x a flat local homomorphism π’ͺ_{Y, f x} ⟢ π’ͺ_{X, x} under which the maximal ideal of the source generates the maximal ideal of the target, and which preserves and reflects Noetherianity (AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.Hom.map_maximalIdeal_stalkMap_of_formallyUnramified, AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.Hom.isNoetherianRing_stalk_iff_of_flat_of_locallyOfFiniteType). Between Noetherian local rings such a homomorphism both preserves and reflects regularity (TauCeti.isRegularLocalRing_iff_of_flat_of_map_maximalIdeal_eq).

Main declarations #

If the sections over an affine open U form a regular ring, the local rings at the points of U are regular.

The sections over an affine open U with Noetherian ring of sections form a regular ring exactly when the local rings at the points of U are regular.

The local rings of the spectrum of a regular ring are regular.

A Noetherian ring is regular exactly when the local rings of its spectrum are regular.

The local ring of Spec R at x is the localization of R at the prime x (Mathlib AlgebraicGeometry.Spec.stalkIso), so one is regular exactly when the other is.

An open immersion f : X ⟢ Y identifies the local ring of X at x with the local ring of Y at f x, so one is regular exactly when the other is.

A flat, formally unramified morphism f : X ⟢ Y locally of finite type (in particular an étale morphism) preserves and reflects regularity of local rings: the local ring of Y at f x is regular exactly when the local ring of X at x is.
