Feb 12, 2021 at 15:11 comment added ofiz @BenC I think your counterexample works. Thank you for pointing it out. I still wonder if it is always surjective
Feb 11, 2021 at 23:41 comment added ofiz @BenC Thank you for the comment, Let me think about it
Feb 11, 2021 at 23:23 comment added Ben C @ofiz I understand your terminology now. You are correct but now I modified the example by inverting $f = x - y$ so the fiber above zero loses the origin and becomes disconnected. Explicitly, let $A = B[x,y,z]/(xy - t, z(x- y) - 1)$.
Feb 11, 2021 at 23:00 comment added ofiz By fibration I just mean surjective and connected fibres. It doesn't even need to be flat. I call a fibre bundle a morphism whose fibres are all isomorphic, but it is really rare. Sorry for the confusion. @BenC I still don't get your point, the fibres of $k[xy] \rightarrow k[x,y]$ are connected. The fibre over $0$ is just $xy = 0$, which is connected.
Feb 11, 2021 at 19:52 comment added Ben C Exactly it's not a fibration. I think I can improve it to $B = k[t]$ and $B \to (B[x,y]/(xy - t))_{f}$ where $f = x - y$ so the fiber over $0$ is the coordinate axes in $\mathbb{A}^2$minus the origin which is disconnected by $V(x)$ and $V(y)$.
Feb 11, 2021 at 19:36 comment added Antoine Labelle I think that Ben's point is that the fibers are not all the same so it's not a fibration, over t=0 it's two lines crossing while everywhere else it's an hyperbola
Feb 11, 2021 at 19:24 comment added ofiz @BenC Do you mean to say that $t \rightarrow xy$? If so, the fibres are connected and it,s surjective. Perhaps you mean $A = B[x,y,t]/(xy - t)$? But in this case, I also think that the fibres are connected (at least over $\bar{k}$)
Feb 11, 2021 at 19:21 comment added ofiz @AntoineLabelle Anything that looks like a product. If $C$ is an integral $k$-algebra, then something of the from $B \rightarrow B \otimes_k C = A$ would be algebraically closed. Otherwise $k[t] \rightarrow k[x,y]$ where $t \rightarrow xy$ is algebraically closed. This is a fibration by hyperbolae. Another one is the radial fibration $k[t] \rightarrow k[x,y,1/x]$ where $t \rightarrow y/x$.
Feb 11, 2021 at 16:13 comment added Ben C Does $B = k[t]$ and $A = B[x,y]/(x y - t)$ give a counter example?
Feb 11, 2021 at 16:00 comment added Antoine Labelle Do you have examples of such extensions where $A$ is not of the form $B[x_1,\cdots, x_n]$?
