Mayer-Vietoris squares in algebraic geometry

Algebraic Geometry 2023-04-04 v2

Abstract

We consider various notions of Mayer--Vietoris squares in algebraic geometry. We use these to generalize a number of gluing and pushout results of Moret-Bailly, Ferrand--Raynaud, Joyet and Bhatt. An important intermediate step is Gabber's rigidity theorem for henselian pairs, which our methods give a new proof of.
