The genericity theorem for the essential dimension of tame stacks

Algebraic Geometry 2023-11-29 v2

Abstract

Let XX be a regular tame stack. If XX is locally of finite type over a field, we prove that the essential dimension of XX is equal to its generic essential dimension, this generalizes a previous result of P. Brosnan, Z. Reichstein and the second author. Now suppose that XX is locally of finite type over a 11-dimensional noetherian local domain RR with fraction field KK and residue field kk. We prove that edkXkedKXK\operatorname{ed}_{k}X_{k} \le \operatorname{ed}_{K}X_{K} if XSpecRX\to \operatorname{Spec} R is smooth and edkXkedKXK+1\operatorname{ed}_{k}X_{k} \le \operatorname{ed}_{K}X_{K}+1 in general.
