Let $f:Xto Y$ be a dominant morphism of integral schemes of finite type over a field $k$.




Let $e=dim(X)-dim(Y)$. For any point $yin f(X)$, show that every irreducible component of the fibre $X_y$ has dimension $geq e$. [Hint: Let $Y'=overline{{y}}$ and use (a) and Ex. 3.20b]




I think there is a typo and we have to use Ex 3.20d, which says that if $Y$ is a closed subset of $X$ then $dim(Y)+mathrm{codim}(Y,X)=dim(X)$. In addition, (a) says that if $Y'$ is a closed irreducible subset of $Y$ whose generic point $eta'$ is contained in $f(X)$ and $Z$ is any irreducible componet of $f^{-1}(Y')$ such that $eta'in f(Z)$, then $mathrm{codim}(Z,X)leqmathrm{codim}(Y',Y)$.



What I have done



By exercise 3.10a, $X_y$ is homeomorphic to $f^{-1}(y)$ with the induced topology, so I'm trying to show the result for $f^{-1}(y)$ since it looks easier, but using the hint I've only managed to prove it for $f^{-1}(Y')$. This is my proof:



Since $y$ is obviously the genereic point of $Y'$, if we take $Z$ to be an irreducible component of $f^{-1}(Y')$ containing $y$, by (a) we have



$$operatorname{codim}(Z,X) leq operatorname{codim}(Y',Y)$$



Now Ex 3.20d implies



$$dim (X) - dim (Z) leq dim (Y) - dim (Y')$$



and thus



$$e = dim (X) - dim (Y) leq dim (Z) - dim (Y') leq dim (Z)$$



But this only shows that any irreducible component of $f^{-1}(Y')$ has dimension $geq e$. How can I conclude that this is true also for the irreducible components of the fibre $f^{-1}(y)$?

          Let $W$ be an irreducible component of $X_y$, and let $k$, $k'$ be the codimensions of $overline{W}$ (closure in $X$) in $X$ and $Y'$ in $Y$, respectively.



          One argues that $overline{W}$ is an irreducible component of $f^{-1}(Y’)$. Thus $k leq k'$ by part (a).

          In general the preimage of the closure is not the closure of the preimage. Why do we know that $overline{f^{-1}(y)}=f^{-1}(Y')$? In principle we only have inclusion to the right since $f^{-1}(Y')$ is a closed subset containing $f^{-1}(y)$. Equality only holds if $f$ is closed.

          I have a doubt about the transcendence degrees. I actually don't know which tower you're using to get the last equality.

          The tower is $F/K/k$, where $F$ is the function field of $W$ and $K$ is the residue field of $y$.
