What is the significance of the Spec of non-affine structure sheaf sections?

Firstly, $\mathcal{O}_X |_U = \mathcal{O}_U$ (restriction of sheaves), so you could just consider $U=X$. Then $\mathrm{Aff}(X) := \mathrm{Spec}\,\mathcal{O}_X(X)$ is the universal affine scheme with a …

Expressing properties of graded algebras in terms of the $\mathbb{G}_m$action

Expanding on Dylan Wilson's answer, condition (2) is indeed just a continuation of $\mathbb{G}_m$-action to an $\mathbb{A}^1$-action, since $\mathcal{O}(\mathbb{A}^1) \hookrightarrow \mathcal{O}(\math …

Is lim R_i = O(colim Spec R_i) true for finite (co)limits?

We have an equivalence of categories $Aff\simeq Ring^{op}$ and a pair of adjoint functors $$\mathcal{O}:Sch\rightleftharpoons Ring^{op} : Spec$$ $$\mathcal{O} \dashv Spec$$ The category of affine sche …

Geometric intuition for limits

There's an enlightening example of limit coming from topology. Arguably it was one of the motivating examples for the notion of categorical limit. In general topology it is known as limit over a filte …

My first question - on Affine Schemes in Algebraic Geometry

There is a purely category-theoretical way to describe affine schemes. Consider an arbitrary scheme $X$. For any ring $R$ we can consider a set of $R$-points of $X$, that is $X(R)=\mathrm{Hom}_{Schm}\ …
