Feb 20, 2022 at 9:50 comment added Lao-tzu To record, see also here mathoverflow.net/questions/44516/… for (1) on locally noetherian assumption.
Feb 17, 2022 at 13:54 comment added Lao-tzu ...to confirm that the Yoneda embedding followed by sheafification is fully faithful.
Feb 17, 2022 at 12:30 comment added Lao-tzu Great, thanks Marc! I can be sure (2) is not a problem for me now: we first sheafify the coproduct decomposition of functor in that book to a coproduct decomposition in the category of sheaves for the topology whose covers are given by coproduct decompositions (and use that representable functors are still sheaves).
Feb 17, 2022 at 12:23 comment added Marc Hoyois Yes, exactly. This sheafification does not change the values on connected schemes, so it's also clear what it does on disjoint unions of connected schemes (e.g. locally noetherian schemes).
Feb 17, 2022 at 9:25 comment added Lao-tzu @Marc Hoyois Thanks! To "make the latter (presheaf) product-preserving", can I understand as the sheafification of the presheaf $Q$ in question w.r.t. the topology whose covers (of an object X) are given by coproduct decompositions $\coprod_i U_i\cong X$?
Feb 17, 2022 at 8:09 comment added Marc Hoyois By the way it is well-known that the noetherian assumptions in Grothendieck's presentation of the Quot scheme are not essential, but I do not know a reference. It might be in the Stacks project.
Feb 17, 2022 at 8:01 comment added Marc Hoyois Indeed, and correspondingly the value of the functor Quot on a non-connected scheme is not simply the coproduct of the values of the functors Quot^Phi, one has to make the latter product-preserving.

Feb 15, 2022 at 20:26 comment added Lao-tzu @Marc Hoyois Moreover, I think in the category of product-preserving presheaves, the value of the coproduct of (say two) product-preserving presheaves on an object is not simply the coproduct (i.e. disjoint union) of the values of these presheaves.
Feb 15, 2022 at 20:09 comment added Lao-tzu @ Marc Hoyois Thanks Marc! By "product-preserving presheaves", do you mean those presheaves taking (arbitrary) coproducts to products? (Namely, you are using that products in the opposite category are coproducts in the original one?)
Feb 15, 2022 at 19:28 comment added Jason Starr You can use limit theorems as in EGA III to reduce representability to the Noetherian case, cf. the comments to the following MO question: mathoverflow.net/questions/259423/…
Feb 15, 2022 at 18:48 comment added Marc Hoyois The first coproduct decomposition does not actually take place in the category of presheaves. It takes place in the subcategory of product-preserving presheaves. The Yoneda embedding into that subcategory preserves coproducts.
