Abstract

Let X be a together with the data M of a M x of prime ideals of Xx, for each point x  X . We introduce the localization of  X ,M  , which is a locally ringed space Y and a of ringed spaces YX enjoying a similar to the localization of a at a prime ideal. We use this to prove that the of locally ringed spaces has all inverse limits, to compare them to the inverse in ringed spaces, and to construct a very general Spec . We conclude with a discussion of relative schemes.

I Spec A I as a subset of Spec A , then was interested in comparing the quotient of, say, a finite SpecA  Spec A IAI  Spec étale in schemes, taken in sheaves on the étale site, with the same quotient taken in LRS . In order to (though they have the same topological space). compare these meaningfully, one must somehow put them in the same category. An appealing way to do this 2.1. Prime Systems is to prove that the (functor of points of the) LRS quo- tient is a sheaf on the étale site. In fact, one can prove Definition 3. Let XX=, X  be a ringed space.
