Most general version of Hensel's Lemma












7












$begingroup$


Roughly speaking, Hensel's Lemma states that a polynomial $f in O[X]$ over a certain local ring $(O,mathfrak{m})$ which factors over the residue field $O/mathfrak{m}$ into coprime polynomials also factors over $O$ in a compatible way. However, there are different versions of the lemma with different requirements on $O$. For example the statement holds true if $O$ is complete with respect to the $mathfrak{m}$-adic topology, and it also holds true if $O$ is the valuation ring of a nontrivial non-archimedean absolute value on some field $K$, which is complete with respect to this absolute value.



Is there a more general version of Hensel's Lemma which implies both of the above statements?

          Let $(R, mathfrak{m})$ be a local ring, $k = R/mathfrak{m}$ its residue field,
          $S = operatorname{Spec}R$, and $s$ the closed point of $S$. The following conditions are
          equivalent.



          $(i)$ Every finite $R$-algebra $A$ is a direct product of local rings.



          $(ii)$ The condition $(i)$ holds for $A = R[t]/(f (t))$ for any monic polynomial
          $f (t) in R[t]$.



          $(iii)$ For any finite $R$-algebra $A$, the canonical homomorphism $A rightarrow
          A/mathfrak{m}A$
          induces a one-to-one correspondence between the set of idempotent elements in $A$ and the set of idempotent elements in $A/mathfrak{m}A.$



          $(iv)$ The condition $(iii)$ holds for $A = R[t]/(f (t))$ for any monic polynomial $f (t) in R[t].$



          $(v)$ For any monic polynomial $f (t) in R[t]$ and any factorization $overline{f}(t) = overline{g}(t) overline{h}(t)$, where $overline{f}(t)$ is the image of $f (t)$ in $k[t]$, and $overline{g}(t)$ and $overline{h}(t)$ are relatively prime monic polynomials in $k[t]$, there exist uniquely determined
          polynomials $g(t)$ and $h(t)$ in $R[t]$ such that $f (t) = g(t)h(t)$, $overline{g}(t)$ and $overline{h}(t)$ are images of $g(t)$ and $h(t)$ in $k[t]$, respectively, and the ideal generated by
          $g(t)$ and $h(t)$ is $R[t].$



          $(vi)$ The condition $(v)$ holds for any factorization $overline{f} (t) = (t− overline{a}) overline{h}(t)$ such
          that $t − overline{a}$ and $overline{h}(t)$ are relatively prime monic polynomials in $k[t].$



          $(vii)$ For any etale morphism $g : X rightarrow S$, any section of $g_s : X otimes _R k rightarrow operatorname{Spec} k$ is induced by a section $g.$



          If a local ring $(R, mathfrak{m})$ satisfies any (and hence every) of these properties, we call the ring henselian.



          Examples: (1) A complete local ring is henselian.



          (2) The convergent power series ring $mathbb{C}{z_1, z_2, dots , z_n}$ is also henselian. (This ring is not a complete local ring.)



          The above definition is taken from Etale Cohomology Theory, Lei Fu. You can also look at here.

            Is there an obvious reason why complete local rings and valuation rings of complete fields satisfy any of those conditions (other than (v) or (vi))?

            @Dune: I don't know. Sorry!! But the conditions (v) and (vi) have a very beautiful geometric picture (namely, Newton-Raphson method). You can look at these two links: (1) math.stackexchange.com/questions/48419/… (2) math.stackexchange.com/questions/709533/…

            @Krish: No problem. :) I just wonder if there is a unifying way to show that these two kinds of rings are henselian. But nevertheless, thank you for your answer!
