Geometrically integral

642 Views Asked by At

Here is a stupid question about the notion of geometric integrality.

Say I have a smooth, projective variety $X$ over a some field $k$, equipped with a morphism $f: X \to C$ to a smooth, projective curve $C$, such that the generic fibre is geometrically integral.

Assume that there exists a finite (dominant) morphism $\varphi: C \to C$ of degree at least $2$.

Is it true that the generic fibre of the composition $\varphi \circ f$ is not geometrically integral?
