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{...

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 ("...

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 ...

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. I'd ...

Gluing categorical limit over subgraphs

Let $C$ be a category, and $\Gamma$ a graph in $C$. Under good conditions it makes sense to talk about the limit $\lim \Gamma$ of $\Gamma$ in $C$. Suppose $\Gamma$ is the union of two subgraphs $\...
