Lemma 37.7.11. Let

\[ \xymatrix{ Z \ar[r]_ i \ar[rd]_ j & X \ar[d] \\ & Y } \]

be a commutative diagram of schemes where $i$ and $j$ are formally unramified. Then there is a canonical exact sequence

\[ \mathcal{C}_{Z/Y} \to \mathcal{C}_{Z/X} \to i^*\Omega _{X/Y} \to 0 \]

where the first arrow comes from Lemma 37.7.5 and the second from Lemma 37.7.10.

Proof. Denote $Z \to Z'$ the universal first order thickening of $Z$ over $X$. Denote $Z \to Z''$ the universal first order thickening of $Z$ over $Y$. By Lemma 37.7.10 here is a canonical morphism $Z' \to Z''$ so that we have a commutative diagram

\[ \xymatrix{ Z \ar[r]_{i'} \ar[rd]_{j'} & Z' \ar[r] \ar[d] & X \ar[d] \\ & Z'' \ar[r] & Y } \]

Apply Morphisms, Lemma 29.32.18 to the left triangle to get an exact sequence

\[ \mathcal{C}_{Z/Z''} \to \mathcal{C}_{Z/Z'} \to (i')^*\Omega _{Z'/Z''} \to 0 \]

As $Z''$ is formally unramified over $Y$ (see Lemma 37.7.4) we have $\Omega _{Z'/Z''} = \Omega _{Z/Y}$ (by combining Lemma 37.6.7 and Morphisms, Lemma 29.32.9). Then we have $(i')^*\Omega _{Z'/Y} = i^*\Omega _{X/Y}$ by Lemma 37.7.9. $\square$
