Defining abstract varieties and their morphisms over a finitely generated subfield of the base field
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field.
By a finitely generated subfield of $k$ I mean a subfield $k_0\subset k$ that is finitely generated over the prime subfield of $k$ (that is, over $\mathbb Q$ ...

Simple examples of colimits of affine schemes (evaluated in the presheaf category) which are not affine schemes
Notation and Setting: let $\operatorname{Aff}$ denote the category of affine schemes whose objects are covariant representable functors $\operatorname{X}:\operatorname{Ring}\rightarrow\operatorname{...

Comparing colimits in schemes with colimits in sheaves of sets
Suppose I have a diagram of schemes, and I know that the colimit exists in the category of schemes. How does this colimit compare with the colimit of the corresponding sheaves (I'm being nonspecific ...

Reference for limits of schemes with non-affine transitions?
Inverse systems of projective schemes appear in several contexts, for example:
in constructing the Zariski-Riemann space of a projective variety,
in studying subvarieties of a projective variety ...

Does Grothendieck's algebraization imply existence of colimits of schemes?
I am a little bit confused about two lemmas regarding Grothendieck's algebraization. Assume all algebras are defined over some field. Here is the short version of my question: Does Tag 09ZT ("...

Pushout of Nisnevich sheaves
Let us consider the projective line $\mathbb{P}^1$ over a field $k$ and take the following open embeddings
$$j_{\epsilon}\colon \mathbb{P}^1\setminus\{0,\infty\} \to \mathbb{P}^1\setminus\{\epsilon\}$$...

Ferrand pushouts for algebraic stacks
Given algebraic spaces $X$, $Y$, $Z$ with a finite morphism $Y \rightarrow X$ and a closed immersion $Y \hookrightarrow Z$, the pushout $P \cong X \amalg_Y Z$ exists as an algebraic space (cf. Temkin ...

Basic example of a formal affine scheme, functorial point of view
$\let\opn=\operatorname$For my BA thesis I have to describe formal groups from the functorial point of view. I am hence reading Strickland - Formal Schemes and Formal Groups, which is apparently the ...

Is the module of Kähler differentials a coend?
Let $\phi\colon R\to S$ be a ring map. The module of Kähler differentials $\Omega_{S/R}$ of $\phi$ can be constructed as the following coequaliser:
$$\left(\bigoplus_{(a, b)\in S^2} S[(a, b)]\right) \...

Is it possible to assume that an étale neighborhood is connected?
I am new to étale topology (though I've seen Grothendieck's sites before).
Let $S:=\mathcal{O}^\textrm{sh}_{X,x}$ be the strict local ring of a point $x$ of a scheme $X=\operatorname{Spec}R$ (over a ...

Sheaf cohomology commutes with colimits of sheaves
Let $X$ be a Noetherian scheme over a Noetherian ring $R$ and $(F_{\alpha})_{\alpha \in I}$ a direct system of $O_X$-module sheaves on $X$. I'm looking for source literature where I can find a proof ...

Chow group over function field and algebraic equivalence
It is known that for smooth projective varieties $X,Y$ over $k=\bar k,$ $$CH^d(X_{k(Y)})=\varinjlim_{U\subset Y\ open}CH^d(X\times_k U)$$
I was wondering whether there was such an equality with ...

Inverse limits of schemes and open subsets
Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring, $\{A_i\}_{i \in I}$ be a direct system of $R$-algebras and $A$ the limit of the system. Let $X$ be a noetherian projective scheme over $\mathrm{Spec}(R)$. ...

Colimit of an etale diagram of schemes
It is known that the category of schemes is not cocomplete (e.g. see this question: Colimits of schemes). However, do diagrams of schemes for which every morphism is etale have colimits? More ...

Pro-affine varieties over a local field
Let $K$ be a (perfect) local field, and let $S = \lim (\operatorname{Spec} A_i)_{i=0}^\infty$ be a pro-affine variety over $K$. This means that each $A_i$ is a finite type $K$-algebra and that the ...

Is the homotopy limit of derived schemes along affine maps a derived scheme?
The title question is true in the setting of ordinary limits and ordinary schemes; that is, given an inverse limit of schemes along affine maps, the limit still lives in the category of schemes.

Universal property of limits of invertible sheaves
