Purity of branch and critical locus

Abstract: To a dominant morphism X/SoY/S of Noe therian integral S-schemes one has the inclusion CX/YsubsetBX/Y of the critical locus in the branch locus of X/Y. Starting from the notion of locally complete intersection morphisms, we give conditions on the modules of relative differentials OmegaX/Y, OmegaX/S, and OmegaY/S that imply bounds on the codimensions of CX/Y and BX/Y. These bounds generalise to a wider class of morphisms the classical purity results for finite morphisms by Zariski-Nagata-Auslander, and Faltings and Grothendieck, and van der Waerden's purity for birational morphisms.
