A standard example of an ind-scheme over a field $\mathrm{k}$ which is not a $\mathrm{k}$-scheme is $\mathrm{k}((\varepsilon))$. My question is how to prove that rigorously? To put it more precisely, let $$\mathrm{k}((\varepsilon)) = \{ a \in \prod_{-\infty}^{\infty}\mathrm{k}: a_i =0, i \ll 0 \}$$ An ind-scheme is an injective limit of regular schemes. So here, $$\mathrm{k}((\varepsilon)) = \lim_{i \rightarrow -\infty}\varepsilon^i\mathrm{k}[[\varepsilon]]$$ But why isn't it an algebraic subset of $\prod_{-\infty}^{\infty}\mathrm{k}$?
