Hopf algebroids without antipode

A cogroupoid object in $\mathsf{CAlg}_R$ is called a Hopf algebroid over $R$. How are cocategory objects in $\mathsf{CAlg}_R$ called? (Unfortunately, bialgebroid is already taken, which seems to mean …

Can $\mathcal O_X$ be recognized abstract-nonsensically?

There won't be any property which really distinguishes $\mathcal{O}_X$ inside $\mathsf{Mod}(X)$, since any invertible $\mathcal{O}_X$-module $\mathcal{L}$ induces an auto-equivalence of categories $\m …

Is $G$ always the automorphism group of the trivial $G$-torsor?

The two morphisms are no $G$-morphisms. An $R$-algebra homomorphism $f : R[x]/(x^2-1) \to R[x]/(x^2-1)$ commutes with the $G$-action if and only if the diagram $$\begin{array}{c} R[x]/(x^2-1) & \xrigh …

The philosophy behind local rings

As already mentioned in the comments, local rings are supposed to abstract the idea of germs of functions. One can make this precise as follows. A ring of germs is defined as a homomorphism $$\mathrm …

Is there a categorical notion of reduced commutative algebras?

One can use idals. The unit $1_{\mathcal{C}} \in \mathcal{C}$ is called reduced if for all idals $e : I \to 1_{\mathcal{C}}$ (i.e. morphisms $e$ satisfying $e \otimes I = I \otimes e$) with $e \otimes …

Amalagamation of a sequence of closed immersions of schemes

Let $(X_n)_{n \geq 0}$ be a family of schemes. Let $$X_0 \to X_1 \to X_2 \to \dotsc$$ be a sequence of closed immersions (which therefore gives rise to an ind-scheme). Under which (necessarly and/or s …

Is there a categorical notion of reduced commutative algebras?

A commutative ring $R$ is reduced if $r^2=0 \Rightarrow r=0$ holds for all $r \in R$. Commutative rings are precisely the commutative algebra objects in the symmetric monoidal category $(\mathsf{Ab},\ …

$\mathbb{G}_m$-torsors and line bundles

If $G$ is a commutative monoid (for your question we will want $G = \mathbb{Z}$), then $A[G]$-comodules identify with $G$-graded $A$-modules. A reference is Demazure, Gabriel, Introduction to Algebrai …

Lifting a local section to a global section along a homomorphism of quasi-coherent sheaves

If $X$ is a scheme, is it always possible to find a basis $\mathcal{B}$ for the topology of $X$ (for example, the affine open subsets) with the following property? For every quasi-coherent sheaf $ …

Properties of the petit Zariski topos

What are some (intrinsically formulated) properties of the locally ringed topos $(\mathbf{Sh}(X),\mathcal{O}_X)$ for some scheme $X$, which do not hold for arbitrary locally ringed toposes? Is there, …

Smallness of the category of schemes of finite type

You can prove essential smallness of the category of finite type $S$-schemes (without further assumptions), where $S$ is any scheme, as follows: If $S$ is affine and we only consider affine finite t …

Morphisms of locally ringed spaces into affine schemes

Here is a sketch: Let $\alpha : R \to \Gamma(X,\mathcal{O}_X)$ be a ring homomorphism. We want to define a morphism $f:X \to \mathrm{Spec}(R)$ which is $\alpha$ on global sections. Let $x \in X$, and …

Locales as geometric objects

There is the following analogy: $$\begin{array}{cc} \text{frames} & - & \text{commutative rings} \\ | && | \\\text{locales} & - & \text{affines schemes}\end{array}$$ Here, $\bigvee$ is analagous …

reduced ⊗ reduced = reduced; what about connected?

The answer to (2) is no. For example, for every prime $p$, $$\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{p}] \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} \mathbb{F}_p = \mathbb{Z}[x]/(x^2-p) \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} \mathbb{F}_p = \mathbb{F}_p[x]/(x^2)$$ …
