The above theorem is different from [DHKY, Theorem 2.1] in the respect that the hypothesis on the residue fields is relaxed, and we also extend the argument to local complete intersection morphisms.Remark 1.2. Theorem 1.1 compares with [Kai, Theorem 4.1] as follows:(1) The above theorem is a weaker statement than [Kai, Theorem 4.1] (see also [Lev, Theorem 10.2.2]) in the sense that we prove the denseness of the fibre only in the n-dimensional components whereas in [Kai] X ′x is proved to be dense in (X ′ ) x .(2) On the other hand, [Kai, Theorem 4.1] only deals with base a Dedekind domain while Theorem 1.1 is proved for Noetherian rings of finite dimension. Further, there is no restriction on the residue fields of the base to be infinite.(3) Similar arguments as in the proof of Theorem 1.1 should also generalise [Kai, Theorem 4.1] to all Dedekind domains (without any conditions on the residue fields).Just as [DHKY, Theorem 2.1], the proof of Theorem 1.1 is similar to the proof of [Kai, Theorem 4.1]. The new ingredient is the observation that over finite fields one can replace arguments involving generic hyperplanes with generic hypersurfaces via the Veronese embedding.We end the paper with an application of Theorem 1.1 to Nisnevich local finite maps to A n .
