scheme morphismに対して、少なくとも次の異なる問いがあります。
morphism $f:X\to Y$ がmorphism locally of finite type|locally of finite typeであるとは、every affine open $V=\operatorname{Spec}A\subseteq Y$ に対し、$f^{-1}(V)$ がaffine opens
$$
U_i=\operatorname{Spec}B_i
$$
でcoverされ、each $B_i$ がfinitely generated $A$-algebraとなることをいう。
$f:X\to Y$ がfinite type morphism|finite typeであるとは、locally of finite typeであり、かつquasi-compact、すなわちevery quasi-compact open $V\subseteq Y$ に対し $f^{-1}(V)$ がquasi-compactであることをいう。
affine target $V=\operatorname{Spec}A$ に対しては、finite type iff $f^{-1}(V)$ can be covered by finitely many affines $\operatorname{Spec}B_i$ with each $B_i$ finitely generated over $A$です。
affine morphism
$$
f:\operatorname{Spec}B\longrightarrow\operatorname{Spec}A
$$
is finite type iff $B$ is a finitely generated $A$-algebra.
If $B$ is finitely generated, the single affine source is a finite affine cover, so $f$ is finite type.
Conversely suppose $f$ finite type. Then $\operatorname{Spec}B$ has a finite cover by principal affine opens $D(g_i)$ such that each $B_{g_i}$ is finitely generated over $A$。Choose finite algebra generators of every $B_{g_i}$ and write each as $b/g_i^{n}$。Adjoin to an $A$-subalgebra $B_0\subseteq B$ all numerators $b$, all $g_i$, and finitely many coefficients witnessing
$$
1=\sum_i c_i g_i^{N}
$$
for a common sufficiently large $N$; such a relation exists because the $D(g_i)$ cover.
After enlarging $B_0$ by finitely many elements, each localization map $(B_0)_{g_i}\to B_{g_i}$ is surjective. It is also injective because $B_0\subseteq B$。Thus it is an isomorphism. For any $b\in B$, its image belongs to $(B_0)_{g_i}$ for all $i$。Choose a common power $N$ with $g_i^Nb\in B_0$ for every $i$。Then
$$
b=\sum_i c_i g_i^N b\in B_0.
$$
Hence $B=B_0$, which is finitely generated over $A$。□
The finite-localization argument above is affine finite-type criterion|affine finite-type criterion。
affine map $A\to B$ is of finite presentation if
$$
B\cong A[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/(f_1,\ldots,f_r)
$$
for finite $n,r$。A scheme morphism is finite presentation morphism|locally of finite presentation if this holds on affine charts, and is of finite presentation if additionally quasi-compact and quasi-separated.
finite presentation records that both generators and relations are finite. finite type controls only generators.
If $A$ is Noetherian and $B$ is a finitely generated $A$-algebra, then $B$ is finitely presented over $A$。
Choose generators $b_1,\ldots,b_n$ and the surjection
$$
A[x_1,\ldots,x_n]\twoheadrightarrow B,
\qquad x_i\mapsto b_i.
$$
Hilbert basis theorem says $A[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ is Noetherian. Therefore its kernel ideal is generated by finitely many elements $f_1,\ldots,f_r$。First isomorphism theorem gives the required presentation. □
morphisms of finite presentation are stable under composition and arbitrary base change.
For composition, write
$$
B=A[x_1,\ldots,x_m]/(f_1,\ldots,f_r),
$$
$$
C=B[y_1,\ldots,y_n]/(g_1,\ldots,g_s).
$$
Choose polynomial lifts $\widetilde g_j\in A[x_1,\ldots,x_m,y_1,\ldots,y_n]$。Then
$$
C\cong
A[x_1,\ldots,x_m,y_1,\ldots,y_n]/
(f_1,\ldots,f_r,\widetilde g_1,\ldots,\widetilde g_s),
$$
so the composite is locally of finite presentation. Finite affine covers compose, and intersections of source affines remain quasi-compact under the quasi-separated hypotheses, so quasi-compactness and quasi-separatedness are preserved.
For base change $A\to A'$,
$$
B\otimes_AA'
\cong
A'[x_1,\ldots,x_m]/(f_1',\ldots,f_r'),
$$
where $f_i'$ is obtained by mapping coefficients to $A'$。Thus the same finite presentation works after affine base change. Base changes of finite affine covers and their quasi-compact intersections prove the global quasi-compact and quasi-separated conditions. □
これはstability of finitely presented morphisms|finitely presented morphismsの安定性です。
locally finite type and finite type morphisms are stable under composition and arbitrary base change.
For composition, affine-locally we have $A\to B\to C$ with
$$
B=A[b_1,\ldots,b_m],
\qquad
C=B[c_1,\ldots,c_n].
$$
Then $C=A[b_1,\ldots,b_m,c_1,\ldots,c_n]$。Thus local finite type is stable. Quasi-compact maps are stable under composition, so finite type is stable.
For base change $A\to A'$, if $B=A[b_1,\ldots,b_m]$, then
$$
B\otimes_AA'=A'[b_1\otimes1,\ldots,b_m\otimes1].
$$
Thus local finite type survives affine base change, and these calculations glue. Quasi-compactness is stable under base change: inverse images of affine quasi-compact opens are covered by base changes of a finite affine cover. Hence finite type survives. □
これはstability of finite-type morphisms|finite-type morphismsの安定性です。
If $f:X\to Y$ is finite type and $y\in Y$, then fiber $X_y$ is a finite-type scheme over $\kappa(y)$。
$X_y\to\operatorname{Spec}\kappa(y)$ is the base change of $f$ by $\operatorname{Spec}\kappa(y)\to Y$。Apply base-change stability. □
morphism $f:X\to Y$ がfinite morphism of schemes|finiteであるとは、every affine open $V=\operatorname{Spec}A\subseteq Y$ に対し
$$
f^{-1}(V)=\operatorname{Spec}B
$$
is affine and $B$ is a finite $A$-moduleとなることをいう。
finite morphism is in particular affine. Closed immersions are finite because $A/I$ is generated by $1$ as an $A$-module.
Every finite morphism is finite type and integral.
On affine charts $A\to B$, choose finite module generators $b_1,\ldots,b_n$。They also generate $B$ as an $A$-algebra, so the map is finite type. The determinant trick proved in Chapter 15 shows every $b\in B$ satisfies a monic polynomial over $A$, so the map is integral. □
finite morphisms satisfy:
これはstability and geometry of finite morphisms|finite morphismsの安定性と幾何です。
finite-type morphism $f:X\to Y$ がquasi-finite morphism|quasi-finiteであるとは、every $y\in Y$ に対しfiber $X_y$ has finitely many underlying pointsとなることをいう。
standard equivalent definitionは、$f$ is of finite type and every $x\in X$ is isolated in its fiberです。finite-type schemes over a fieldでは、finite point set、dimension zero、Artinian coordinate ringsがaffine-locally一致します。
Every finite morphism is quasi-finite.
finite implies finite type, and previous theorem says each fiber has finitely many points. □
converse is false. The open immersion
$$
D(x)=\operatorname{Spec}k[x,x^{-1}]hookrightarrow\operatorname{Spec}k[x]
$$
is finite type and each fiber has zero or one point, hence quasi-finite. But it is not finite: if $k[x,x^{-1}]$ were finite over $k[x]$, $x^{-1}$ would be integral and satisfy
$$
(x^{-1})^n+a_{n-1}(x^{-1})^{n-1}+\cdots+a_0=0.
$$
Multiplying by $x^{n-1}$ gives $x^{-1}\in k[x]$, impossible.
quasi-finite morphisms are stable under composition and arbitrary base change.
First prove a lemma: a finite-type algebra $C$ over a field $K$ with finite spectrum is finite-dimensional over $K$。Let $\mathfrak p_1,\ldots,\mathfrak p_r$ be its finitely many minimal primes. For each $i$, Noether normalization gives a finite injective map
$$
K[t_1,\ldots,t_{d_i}]\hookrightarrow C/\mathfrak p_i.
$$
Lying over makes $\operatorname{Spec}(C/\mathfrak p_i)\to\mathbb A_K^{d_i}$ surjective. If $d_i>0$, the target has infinitely many prime ideals: already $K[t_1]$ has infinitely many primes, since otherwise the product of representatives of all nonzero prime polynomials plus $1$ has a new irreducible factor. This contradicts finiteness of $\operatorname{Spec}C$。Thus all $d_i=0$, so every minimal prime is maximal; hence every prime of $C$ is maximal.
$C$ is Noetherian, so its nilradical $N$ is nilpotent. The finitely many maximal ideals are pairwise comaximal, and Chinese remainder theorem gives
$$
C/N\cong\prod_{\mathfrak m\in\operatorname{Spec}C}C/\mathfrak m.
$$
Each residue field is a finite extension of $K$ by Zariski lemma, so $C/N$ is finite-dimensional. The filtration
$$
C\supset N\supset\cdots\supset N^r=0
$$
has quotients finite modules over $C/N$ because the ideals are finitely generated, so $C$ is finite-dimensional.
For base change, each affine fiber algebra $C$ is finite-dimensional over $\kappa(y)$ by the lemma. After a residue-field extension $K/\kappa(y)$ it becomes $C\otimes K$, still finite-dimensional and therefore has finite spectrum. Chapter 35's fiber base-change formula gives quasi-finiteness. Finite type is already base-change stable.
For composition $X\xrightarrow{f}Y\xrightarrow{g}Z$, a fiber over $z$ maps to the finite set $Y_z$。For every $y\in Y_z$, its inverse image is the finite set $X_y$。A finite union of finite sets is finite. Composition is finite type, hence quasi-finite. □

morphism $f:X\to Y$ がdominant morphism|dominantであるとは、image $f(X)$ がdense in $Y$、すなわち
$$
\overline{f(X)}=Y
$$
となることをいう。
surjective implies dominant, but converse need not hold. Any dense open immersion is dominant and usually not surjective.
ring map $\varphi:A\to B$ が誘導する $f:\operatorname{Spec}B\to\operatorname{Spec}A$ について
$$
\overline{f(\operatorname{Spec}B)}=V(\ker\varphi).
$$
従って $f$ is dominant iff $\ker\varphi\subseteq\sqrt{(0)}$。In particular, if $A$ is reduced, dominance iff $\varphi$ is injective.
Every contraction of a prime of $B$ contains $\ker\varphi$, so the image lies in $V(\ker\varphi)$。
To prove density there, let $D(a)$ be a principal open meeting $V(\ker\varphi)$。Then $a\notin\sqrt{\ker\varphi}$, so no power of $\varphi(a)$ is zero. Thus $B_{\varphi(a)}$ is nonzero and has a prime ideal $\mathfrak q'$。Its contraction to $B$ is a prime $\mathfrak q$ not containing $\varphi(a)$。Then $f(\mathfrak q)\in D(a)$。Therefore every basic open of $V(\ker\varphi)$ meets the image, proving the closure formula.
$V(\ker\varphi)=\operatorname{Spec}A$ iff $\ker\varphi$ lies in every prime, i.e. in the nilradical. If $A$ reduced, nilradical is zero. □
これはaffine dominance criterion|affine dominance criterionです。
For integral schemes, dominant $f:X\to Y$ sends the generic point of $X$ to the generic point of $Y$ and induces an embedding of function fields
$$
K(Y)\hookrightarrow K(X).
$$
Indeed choose affine opens around generic points; dominance makes the coordinate-ring map injective, and passing to fraction fields gives the embedding.
Dominant morphisms are stable under composition, because for continuous maps
$$
g(\overline{f(X)})\subseteq\overline{g(f(X))}.
$$
If both $f$ and $g$ are dominant, $g(Y)$ lies in the closure of $g(f(X))$, whose closure is therefore all of the final target.
However dominance is not stable under arbitrary base change. A dense open immersion $U\hookrightarrow Y$ is dominant. Base change by a point $y\in Y\setminus U$ gives
$$
\varnothing=U\times_Y\operatorname{Spec}\kappa(y)
\longrightarrow\operatorname{Spec}\kappa(y),
$$
which is not dominant. This is dominance can fail under base change|base changeによるdominanceの失敗です。
| property | affine algebra | fibers | composition | arbitrary base change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| finite type | finitely generated algebra | finite-type schemes | yes | yes |
| finite presentation | finite generators and relations | finitely presented | yes | yes |
| quasi-finite | finite type + finite point fibers | finite point sets | yes | yes |
| finite | finite module | finite Artinian schemes | yes | yes |
| dominant | kernel nilpotent; injective over reduced target | not controlled | yes | no |
The strict implications are
$$
\text{finite}\Longrightarrow\text{quasi-finite}\Longrightarrow\text{finite type}.
$$
Neither converse holds. Dominance measures image density and is logically independent of these finiteness conditions.
projection $\mathbb A_k^n\to\operatorname{Spec}k$ is finite type. Determine for which $n$ it is quasi-finite and finite.
coordinate ring $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ is finitely generated over $k$, so the morphism is finite type. There is one fiber, namely $\mathbb A_k^n$ itself. For $n=0$, this is one point and coordinate ring $k$, hence finite and quasi-finite.
For $n\ge1$, $\operatorname{Spec}k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ has infinitely many points, for example primes $(x_1-a,x_2,\ldots,x_n)$ as $a$ varies when $k$ infinite; over finite $k$, irreducible polynomials of unbounded degree already give infinitely many primes in $k[x_1]$。Thus it is not quasi-finite. It is not finite because polynomial ring is infinite-dimensional as a $k$-vector space. □
Show a closed immersion is finite, and determine when it is of finite presentation.
Affine-locally it is $\operatorname{Spec}(A/I)\to\operatorname{Spec}A$。The quotient $A/I$ is generated by $1$ as an $A$-module, so the morphism is finite.
It is of finite presentation iff $A/I$ has a presentation with finitely many relations. Since it is generated as an algebra by no additional variables, this is exactly the condition that kernel $I$ be finitely generated. Thus a closed immersion is finitely presented iff its ideal sheaf is locally of finite type. □
For $n\ge1$, show $f:\mathbb A_k^1\to\mathbb A_k^1$, $t\mapsto t^n$, is finite and dominant. If $k$ is algebraically closed, describe its fibers including multiplicity at zero.
ring map is $k[x]\to k[t]$, $x\mapsto t^n$。As a $k[x]$-module,
$$
k[t]=k[x]\cdot1+\cdots+k[x]\cdot t^{n-1},
$$
so $f$ is finite. The ring map is injective because a nonzero polynomial $P(x)$ gives nonzero $P(t^n)$; hence dominance follows from the affine criterion.
fiber over $a$ has algebra
$$
k[t]/(t^n-a).
$$
If $a\ne0$ and characteristic does not divide $n$, it consists of $n$ distinct reduced points. At $a=0$ it is $k[t]/(t^n)$, one point with length $n$。In characteristic dividing $n$, nonzero fibers may also be nonreduced because derivative $nt^{n-1}$ can vanish. □
Show $D(f)\hookrightarrow\operatorname{Spec}A$ is quasi-finite and need not be finite. If $A$ is a domain, prove that it is dominant exactly when $f\ne0$。
The map corresponds to $A\to A_f=A[t]/(ft-1)$, so it is of finite presentation. Every fiber is empty if $f$ vanishes at the point and one point otherwise; hence quasi-finite.
If $A$ is a domain, its unique minimal prime is $(0)$。The nonempty open $D(f)$ contains the generic point $(0)$ exactly when $f\ne0$ and is then dense. If $f=0$, it is empty and not dominant.
It need not be finite: for $A=k[x]$, $f=x$, the element $x^{-1}\in A_x$ is not integral over $A$, as shown above. □
Correct the assertion in Exercise 4 without assuming $A$ a domain, and prove it using the affine dominance criterion.
The correct statement is:
$$
D(f)\hookrightarrow\operatorname{Spec}A
\text{ is dominant}
\Longleftrightarrow
f\text{ lies in no minimal prime of }A.
$$
The kernel of $A\to A_f$ consists of $a$ for which $f^na=0$ for some $n$。Dominance criterion says this kernel must lie in the nilradical.
If $f$ lies in no minimal prime and $f^na=0$, then for every minimal prime $\mathfrak p$, primality and $f\notin\mathfrak p$ imply $a\in\mathfrak p$。Thus $a$ lies in the intersection of minimal primes, equal to the nilradical.
Conversely, if $f$ lies in a minimal prime $\mathfrak p$, then the irreducible component $V(\mathfrak p)$ has generic point $\mathfrak p$ not in $D(f)$。Since $D(f)$ is generalization-stable, it misses that generic point and cannot be dense in this component, hence cannot be dense in all of $\operatorname{Spec}A$。□
finite type means finitely many coordinates locally; finite presentation also bounds equations. quasi-finite adds finite point fibers, while finite strengthens this to finite module algebras and therefore closed maps with finite Artinian fibers. Dominance instead measures dense image and, over reduced affine targets, becomes injectivity of coordinate rings.
The examples separate every implication: affine space over a point is finite type but not quasi-finite, a dense principal open is quasi-finite but generally not finite, and a dense open immersion is dominant but not surjective and may lose dominance after base change. Next chapter adds separatedness and properness, which control uniqueness and existence of limits and explain why finite morphisms behave like compact finite-sheeted maps.
