Morphism of schemes
Builds on SchemeLocally ringed spaceLocal homomorphismContinuous map
Definition
Let and be schemes. A morphism of schemes is a morphism of locally ringed spaces, that is, a pair such that:
- is a continuous map.
- is a morphism of sheaves of rings, so for each open it gives a ring map , compatible with restrictions.
- For every , the induced map of stalks is a local homomorphism.
The composite of and is .
Remarks
Example: a ring homomorphism gives a morphism with . On stalks it is the map , which sends the maximal ideal into , so it is local. Non-example: let be a discrete valuation ring with fraction field . Let send the single point of to the closed point of , and let come from the inclusion . This is a morphism of ringed spaces, but it fails clause 3. The stalk map is not local, since it sends the maximal ideal of into the units of .
