The henselization of a local ring #

The henselization of a pair (R, 𝔪) with 𝔪 a maximal ideal is a henselian local ring whose maximal ideal is the extended ideal 𝔪 R^h. When R is local with maximal ideal 𝔪, the structure map R → R^h is a local homomorphism inducing an isomorphism of residue fields, and R^h is universal among local homomorphisms from R to henselian local rings. So the henselization of the pair (R, 𝔪) is the henselization of the local ring R.

The henselization along a maximal ideal is a local ring.

The maximal ideal of the henselization along a maximal ideal I is the extended ideal.

The henselization along a maximal ideal is a henselian local ring.

The map from the henselization along a maximal ideal I to a henselian local ring in which I generates a proper ideal is a local homomorphism.

The structure map from a local ring to its henselization along the maximal ideal is a local homomorphism.

The structure map from a local ring to its henselization along the maximal ideal induces an isomorphism of residue fields.

The universal property of the henselization of a local ring. Every local homomorphism from a local ring R to a henselian local ring S factors through a unique local R-algebra map from the henselization of R along its maximal ideal. Every R-algebra map from the henselization to S is in fact local and equal to this one (eq_lift).
