Prop. 14.67
|
The lower right triangle of the diagram constructed at the end of the proof is not commutative in general, therefore the proof is not valid as given here. Furthermore, in Step (i) of the proof of Theorem 14.66 (ed. 1) / Theorem 14.68 (ed. 2), a morphism $f': T'\rightarrow S'$ is considered where $T'$ is a finite disjoint union of affine open subschemes of $S'$ covering $S'$. If $S'$ is not quasi-separated, then it is not possible to find a quasi-compact such $f'$. Therefore, it seems better to handle individually the two cases of this proposition that are needed in the proof of the theorem: The case where $T'$ is a finite disjoint union of open subschemes of $S'$, and the case where $f' : T'=S \rightarrow S'$ is a section of $p: S' \rightarrow S$. Both cases are easy to deal with (the first one because it is clear that morphisms of this kind satisfy descent). A posteriori, the theorem implies that the proposition is actually true in the form stated. | M. Bruneaux, P. Godfard | 1 2 |

Exercise 3.26(a)

The statement is true for $V = X$, but not in general. (E.g., take $Y= \mathbb A^1_k$, $U=\mathbb A^1_k\setminus \{0\}$, $I=\{1, 2\}$, $i=1$, $V=U_2\subseteq X$.) | Paulo Lima-Filho | 1 2 |

Line 12, proof of Lemma 6.26
|
For an arbitrary choice of a point $y'$ lying over $y$, the residue class field of $y'$ might be bigger than $\kappa(y)$, so we have to choose $y'$ suitably in order to apply the previous reasoning. In fact, there always exists $y'$ lying over $y$ with $\kappa(y')=\kappa(y)$. Namely, $y$ gives rise to a morphism ${\rm Spec}(\kappa(y)\to X$, and together with the identity morphism of $\kappa(y)$ we obtain a morphism ${\rm Spec}(\kappa(y))\to X\otimes_k\kappa(y)$ whose image point $y'$ has residue class field $\kappa(y)$. | Jin Yong / U.G. | 2 |

Prop. 13.2 (2), proof of Prop 13.2 (3)
|
The set of ideals disjoint from $S$ may be empty. A corrected version of (2) is: "Let $S\subset A_+$ be a non-empty subset such that $s,t\in S$ implies $st\in S$ (hence $S\cup\{1\}$ is a multiplicative subset). Suppose that there exists a homogeneous ideal $I\subsetneq A_+$ such that $S\cap I = \emptyset$. Then every ideal maximal among the set of homogeneous ideals $I$ satisfying $I\subsetneq A_+$ and $S\cap I=\emptyset$ is of the form $\mathfrak{p}_+$ for a relevant prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$." Maybe also include justification in the proof of (3) why the set of ideals with those properties for $S=\{f,f^2,\dots\}$ is non-empty: "Conversely, if $f\notin\text{rad}(I)$, then let $S=\{f,f^2,\dots\}$ and note $I\cap S=\emptyset$ and $I\subsetneq A_+$. Hence there is a relevant prime ideal disjoint from $S$ by (2), so $f$ is not contained in the intersection of all relevant prime ideals." | Matthew Snodgrass | 1 2 |
|
p. 373,
¶
Proof of Prop 13.2 (3)
|
To apply (2), $f$ must be in $A_+$. The current argument is sufficient to show (3) (together with a direct proof that the ideal $\operatorname{rad}(I)$ is homogeneous) but not for the statement in the first line of the proof. | 1 2 | |
|
p. 373,
¶
Line -8
|
We defined $V_+(\mathfrak a)$ only for homogeneous ideals contained in $A_+$. Therefore $V(\mathfrak a^h)$ should be replaced by $V(\mathfrak a^h\cap A_+)$. Note that for $\mathfrak p\in {\rm Proj}(A)$, we have \(\mathfrak a\subseteq \mathfrak p \Leftrightarrow \mathfrak a^h\subseteq\mathfrak p\Leftrightarrow \mathfrak a^h\cap A_+\subseteq\mathfrak p.\) (Alternatively we could define $V_+(-)$ for all homogeneous ideals (or even all subsets of $A$) and explain why this doesn't make a difference.) | Dominik Briganti | 1 2 |

Proposition 14.14 (ii)
|
Replace "schematic closure of the generic fiber $f^{-1}(\eta)$ in X" by "schematic image of the canonical morphism $f^{-1}(\eta) \rightarrow X$". In 10.31, schematic closure is defined only for quasi-compact immersion but the morphism above may not be an immersion. An example: $X=Y=Spec\mathbb{Z}$. Then $\{ 0 \}$ is not a subscheme in the sense of 3.43. | 1 2 | |

¶
Proof of Lemma 14.18
|
In the first paragraph, one needs to argue more carefully in order to conclude that the homomorphisms $f_x^\sharp$ are bijective. (It is not enough to assume that $f$ is dominant and locally on $X$ an immersion, and $Y$ is reduced.) Note that the morphisms $U_i\to Y$ are dominant since $U_i\subseteq X$ is dense and $f$ is dominant. Thus they are dominant immersions, and $Y$ being reduced are open immersions. From this it is clear that the $f_x^\sharp$ are isomorphisms. | J. Ehrhard | 1 2 |
|
p. 475,
¶
Lemma 14.111

It is enough to assume that $f$ is locally of finite type (and in fact in the proof of the following theorem the lemma is applied with that weaker assumption). The same proof works in the general case. | Jin yong An | 1 2 |

It is claimed that the implication “(i) ⇒ (ii)” of Theorem 15.8 is proved in Lemma 12.61, but the lemma only claims and shows that universal closedness implies the existence of a lift, not the quasi-compactness.

Proposition B.73 (6)
|
What is true (and proved in Matsumura's book) is: If $B$ is normal, then $A$ is normal. If $A$ and $B\otimes_A\kappa(\mathfrak p)$ are normal for all $\mathfrak p\in {\rm Spec}(A)$, then $B$ is normal.
It is not true that normality of $B$ implies normality of the fibers. Consider for instance a discrete valuation ring $A$ with uniformizer $t$ and $B=A[X,Y]/(XY-t)$. Then $B$ is regular and in particular normal, but the special fiber $(A/t)[X, Y]/(XY)$ is not normal. |

Proposition B.83
|
"all minimal prime ideals of $A$ containing $\mathfrak a$" should read "all preimages in $A$ of associated prime ideals of $A / \mathfrak a$", as stated in the reference (Matsumura, 17.6). For example $A = k[x,y] / (x^2,xy)$ is not Cohen-Macaulay, but satisfies the condition with "minimal prime ideals...". | F. Heß, K. Meiwald | 1 2 |

Lemma 1.19 (2)
|
The statement remains true without the assumption that $I$ be finite: Let $\emptyset\ne V\subseteq X$ be open. It is enough to show that $V\cap U_i\ne\emptyset$ for all $i$, because this implies that the closure of $V$ in $X$ contains $U_i$, hence that $V$ is dense in $X$. Let $I_1 = \{ i\in I;\ V\cap U_i=\emptyset\}$, $I_2=I\setminus I_1$. Then $X = \bigcup_{i\in I_1} U_i\cup \bigcup_{i\in I_2} U_i$, and this union is disjoint. In fact, assume $U_{i_1}\cap U_{i_2}\ne \emptyset$, $i_\nu\in I_\nu$. Since $V\cap U_{i_2}\ne \emptyset$ and any two non-empty opens in the irreducible space $U_{i_2}$ intersect, we find $U_{i_1}\cap U_{i_2}\cap V \ne \emptyset$, a contradiction to $i_1\in I_1$. Since $X$ is connected, $I_1$ must be empty. |

The reason provided after the "as ..." is not related to this definition giving a topology (you will not need this in a verification of the axioms for a toplogy; it is the final topology wr.t. the inclusion maps for the U_i). Instead, it is the reason that the U_i are open in this topology. | Denis Vogel | 1 2 |

Proof of Corollary 1.60
|
For the proof of the second assertion, i.e. $\mathbb{P}^n$ is a prevariety, one needs to show the connectedness of $\mathbb{P}^n$. But the book use part (2) of Lemma 1.19 (to show irreduciblity) which itself needs the connectedness! If connectedness is trivial, the second assertion of the Corollary 1.60 is proved and there is no need to speak about Lemma 1.19 and irreduciblity; and if connectedness is not trivial, then one cannot use the Lemma 1.19. To resolve this, one should make the reference to Lemma 1.19 more precise: Use part (1) to show that $\mathbb P^n(k)$ is connected (from the construction and previous discussion it is clear that any two of the standard charts have non-empty intersection.). Then irreducibility follows from part (2) (which needs the connectedness), but that was already noted as a general fact in Proposition 1.48. | Ehsan Shahoseini | 1 2 |

Proof of Prop. 3.27 (2)
|
At this point in the proof, $X$ is not yet assumed to be affine. But $V(f)$ has only been defined in the affine setting until this point in the book. So it might be worth noting that $V(f)$ denotes the set of $x\in X$ where $f(x)=0$ in the sense of the penultimate paragraph of p.57. This is a closed subset of $X$ by Ex. 2.19. (Later in the book, $X_f$ is reintroduced on p.187, without reference to Ex. 2.19). | Denis Vogel | 1 2 |

It should be explained why $\bar{x}$ is closed in $X_K$. The point $\bar{x}$ is a point of the fiber $p^{-1}(x) = \mathop{\rm Spec} \kappa(x)\otimes_k K$. We now use Proposition 3.33. Since the extension $\kappa(x)/k$ is finite, $\kappa(x)\otimes_k K$ is a finite-dimensional $K$-vector space. This implies that the residue class field of $\bar{x}$ (which is a quotient of this tensor product) is finite over $K$. Hence $\bar{x}$ is a closed point of $X_K$. (A variant of the argument: Since $\kappa(x)\otimes_k K$ is finite over $K$, it is an Artin ring, hence the fiber $p^{-1}(x)$ has dimension $0$. Therefore $\bar{x}$ is a closed point of the fiber. Since $x$ is closed in $X$, $p^{-1}(x)$ is closed in $X_K$. Altogether we see that $\bar{x}$ is closed in $X_K$.) | A. Graf | 1 2 |

Proof of Prop. 5.53
|
In the proof of (iv) $\Rightarrow$ (iii), further details should be added about the construction of the scheme $Y'$. To define $Y'$, one applies gluing of schemes (Prop. 3.10) to the family of schemes $U_i := {\rm Spec} (A_i\otimes k')/(f_{ij})$ (this is a different $U_i$ than in the proof of 5.53; I use $U_i$ here to indicate how Prop. 3.10 is applied), and $U_{ij} = U_i \cap {\rm Spec} (A_j \otimes k')$ (scheme-theoretic intersection inside $X\otimes k'$). To construct a complete gluing datum, one has to show that $U_{ij} = U_{ji}$ as closed subschemes of ${\rm Spec} (A_i\otimes k') \cap {\rm Spec} (A_j\otimes k')$. (Since these identifications are (basically) equalities, it is clear that the cocycle condition of a gluing datum is satisfied, so that Prop. 3.10 can be applied.) By construction, it is clear that the desired equality holds after base change to $\Omega$, i.e., that $U_{ij}\otimes_{k'}\Omega = U_{ji}\otimes_{k'}\Omega$. It therefore suffices to prove the following general statement: Let $Z$ be a scheme over a field $k'$, let $\Omega / k'$ be a field extension and let $Z_1, Z_2$ be closed subschemes of $Z$ such that $Z_1 \otimes_{k'} \Omega = Z_2 \otimes_{k'} \Omega$ (as closed subschemes of $Z\otimes \Omega$). Then $Z_1 = Z_2$. To prove this statement, it is enough to show that $Z_1\subseteq Z_2$ and that $Z_2\subseteq Z_1$, or in other words that the inclusions $Z_1\cap Z_2 \subseteq Z_i$ (for $i=1,2$) are equalities. With this observation, one easily reduces to the case that $Z_2 \subseteq Z_1$ (replace $Z_2$ by $Z_1\cap Z_2$, and apply the statement again with the roles of $Z_1$ and $Z_2$ reversed). Furthermore, one may work locally on $Z$, so that we may assume that $Z$ is affine, say $Z = {\rm Spec} A$. Then the closed subschemes correspond to ideals $\mathfrak a_1 \subseteq \mathfrak a_2 \subseteq A$ such that $\mathfrak a_1 \otimes \Omega = \mathfrak a_2 \otimes \Omega$ (inside $A\otimes \Omega$). This implies that $(\mathfrak a_2 / \mathfrak a_2) \otimes \Omega = 0$, so $\mathfrak a_2 / \mathfrak a_1 = 0$ (base change by a field extension preserves the vector space dimension), and we get $\mathfrak a_1 = \mathfrak a_2$, as desired. |

Lemma 11.37
|
The hypothesis of A being local is not needed. In fact, Corollary B.64 doesn't have to be invoked: Let $a$ be a regular element. By a slightly different version of Krull's principal ideal theorem (e.g. Corollary 11.17 in [AM]), every minimal prime ideal over $a$ has height 1. In particular, for every such prime $P$, $\dim(A/P) \leq \dim(A)-{\rm ht}(P) = 1-1 = 0$, and hence $\dim(A/P) = 0$. Moreover, if $a$ is not a unit, then $\dim(A/(a)) = 0$. Therefore, $A/(a)$ is an Artinian ring for every regular elements $a$. Now the proof continues with no further changes. | Javier de la Bodega | 1 2 |

Theorem 12.35

The assumption that $X$ be quasi-separated is superfluous. This is currently used to invoke Theorem 7.22 in the proof of (ii) $\Rightarrow$ (i), but it follows from (ii) since $X_{f_i}\cap X_{f_j}$ is a principal open subset of the affine scheme $X_{f_i}$. Alternatively, one could prove (ii) $\Rightarrow$ (i) by saying that for all $i$, the morphism $X_{f_i}\to D(f_i)$ is affine (since $X_{f_i}$ is affine), so that by Prop. 12.1 the morphism $X\to {\rm Spec}(A)$ is affine. | U.
