\section{Introduction}
\label{section-introduction}
\noindent
In this chapter we introduce ways of constructing schemes out of others.
A basic reference is \cite{EGA}.
\section{Relative glueing}
\label{section-relative-glueing}
\noindent
The following lemma is relevant in case we are trying to construct a
scheme $X$ over $S$, and we already know how to construct the restriction
of $X$ to the affine opens of $S$. The actual result is completely general
and works in the setting of (locally) ringed spaces, although our proof
is written in the language of schemes.
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-relative-glueing}
Let $S$ be a scheme.
Let $\mathcal{B}$ be a basis for the topology of $S$.
Suppose given the following data:
\begin{enumerate}
\item For every $U \in \mathcal{B}$ a scheme $f_U : X_U \to U$ over $U$.
\item For every pair $U, V \in \mathcal{B}$ such that
$V \subset U$ a morphism $\rho^U_V : X_V \to X_U$.
\end{enumerate}
Assume that
\begin{enumerate}
\item[(a)] each $\rho^U_V$ induces an isomorphism
$X_V \to f_U^{-1}(V)$ of schemes over $V$,
\item[(b)] whenever $W, V, U \in \mathcal{B}$, with
$W \subset V \subset U$ we have $\rho^U_W = \rho^U_V \circ \rho ^V_W$.
\end{enumerate}
Then there exists a unique scheme $f : X \to S$ over $S$
and isomorphisms $i_U : f^{-1}(U) \to X_U$ over $U$ such that
for $V \subset U \subset S$ affine open the composition
$$
\xymatrix{
X_V \ar[r]^{i_V^{-1}} &
f^{-1}(V) \ar[rr]^{inclusion} & &
f^{-1}(U) \ar[r]^{i_U} &
X_U
}
$$
is the morphism $\rho^U_V$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
To prove this we will use Schemes, Lemma \ref{schemes-lemma-glue-functors}.
First we define a contravariant functor $F$ from the category of schemes
to the category of sets. Namely, for a scheme $T$ we set
$$
F(T) =
\left\{
\begin{matrix}
(g, \{h_U\}_{U \in \mathcal{B}}),
\ g : T \to S, \ h_U : g^{-1}(U) \to X_U, \\
f_U \circ h_U = g|_{g^{-1}(U)},
\ h_U|_{g^{-1}(V)} = \rho^U_V \circ h_V
\ \forall\ V, U \in \mathcal{B}, V \subset U
\end{matrix}
\right\}.
$$
The restriction mapping $F(T) \to F(T')$ given a morphism
$T' \to T$ is just gotten by composition.
For any $W \in \mathcal{B}$ we consider the subfunctor
$F_W \subset F$ consisting of those systems $(g, \{h_U\})$
such that $g(T) \subset W$.
\medskip\noindent
First we show $F$ satisfies the sheaf property for the Zariski topology.
Suppose that $T$ is a scheme, $T = \bigcup V_i$ is an open covering,
and $\xi_i \in F(V_i)$ is an element such that
$\xi_i|_{V_i \cap V_j} = \xi_j|_{V_i \cap V_j}$.
Say $\xi_i = (g_i, \{h_{i, U}\})$. Then we immediately see that
the morphisms $g_i$ glue to a unique global morphism
$g : T \to S$. Moreover, it is clear that
$g^{-1}(U) = \bigcup g_i^{-1}(U)$. Hence the morphisms
$h_{i, U} : g_i^{-1}(U) \to X_U$ glue to a unique morphism
$h_U : U \to X_U$. It is easy to verify that the system
$(g, \{f_U\})$ is an element of $F(T)$. Hence $F$ satisfies the
sheaf property for the Zariski topology.
\medskip\noindent
Next we verify that each $F_W$, $W \in \mathcal{B}$ is representable.
Namely, we claim that the transformation of functors
$$
F_W \longrightarrow \Mor(-, X_W), \ (g, \{h_U\}) \longmapsto h_W
$$
is an isomorphism. To see this suppose that $T$ is a scheme and
$\alpha : T \to X_W$ is a morphism. Set $g = f_W \circ \alpha$.
For any $U \in \mathcal{B}$ such that $U \subset W$ we can
define $h_U : g^{-1}(U) \to X_U$ be the composition
$(\rho^W_U)^{-1} \circ \alpha|_{g^{-1}(U)}$. This works because
the image $\alpha(g^{-1}(U))$ is contained in $f_W^{-1}(U)$ and
condition (a) of the lemma. It is clear that
$f_U \circ h_U = g|_{g^{-1}(U)}$ for such a $U$.
Moreover, if also $V \in \mathcal{B}$ and $V \subset U \subset W$,
then $\rho^U_V \circ h_V = h_U|_{g^{-1}(V)}$ by property (b)
of the lemma. We still have to define $h_U$ for an arbitrary
element $U \in \mathcal{B}$. Since $\mathcal{B}$ is a basis for
the topology on $S$ we can find an open covering
$U \cap W = \bigcup U_i$ with $U_i \in \mathcal{B}$. Since $g$ maps into $W$
we have
$g^{-1}(U) = g^{-1}(U \cap W) = \bigcup g^{-1}(U_i)$.
Consider the morphisms
$h_i = \rho^U_{U_i} \circ h_{U_i} : g^{-1}(U_i) \to X_U$.
It is a simple matter to use condition (b) of the lemma
to prove that
$h_i|_{g^{-1}(U_i) \cap g^{-1}(U_j)} = h_j|_{g^{-1}(U_i) \cap g^{-1}(U_j)}$.
Hence these morphisms glue to give the desired morphism
$h_U : g^{-1}(U) \to X_U$. We omit the (easy) verification that
the system $(g, \{h_U\})$ is an element of $F_W(T)$ which
maps to $\alpha$ under the displayed arrow above.
\medskip\noindent
Next, we verify each $F_W \subset F$ is representable by open immersions.
This is clear from the definitions.
\medskip\noindent
Finally we have to verify
the collection $(F_W)_{W \in \mathcal{B}}$ covers $F$.
This is clear by construction and the fact that $\mathcal{B}$ is
a basis for the topology of $S$.
\medskip\noindent
Let $X$ be a scheme representing the functor $F$.
Let $(f, \{i_U\}) \in F(X)$ be a ``universal family''.
Since each $F_W$ is representable by $X_W$ (via the morphism of functors
displayed above) we see that $i_W : f^{-1}(W) \to X_W$
is an isomorphism as desired. The lemma is proved.
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-relative-glueing-sheaves}
Let $S$ be a scheme.
Let $\mathcal{B}$ be a basis for the topology of $S$.
Suppose given the following data:
\begin{enumerate}
\item For every $U \in \mathcal{B}$ a scheme $f_U : X_U \to U$ over $U$.
\item For every $U \in \mathcal{B}$ a quasi-coherent sheaf $\mathcal{F}_U$
over $X_U$.
\item For every pair $U, V \in \mathcal{B}$ such that
$V \subset U$ a morphism $\rho^U_V : X_V \to X_U$.
\item For every pair $U, V \in \mathcal{B}$ such that
$V \subset U$ a morphism
$\theta^U_V : (\rho^U_V)^*\mathcal{F}_U \to \mathcal{F}_V$.
\end{enumerate}
Assume that
\begin{enumerate}
\item[(a)] each $\rho^U_V$ induces an isomorphism
$X_V \to f_U^{-1}(V)$ of schemes over $V$,
\item[(b)] each $\theta^U_V$ is an isomorphism,
\item[(c)] whenever $W, V, U \in \mathcal{B}$, with
$W \subset V \subset U$ we have $\rho^U_W = \rho^U_V \circ \rho ^V_W$,
\item[(d)] whenever $W, V, U \in \mathcal{B}$, with
$W \subset V \subset U$ we have
$\theta^U_W = \theta^V_W \circ (\rho^V_W)^*\theta^U_V$.
\end{enumerate}
Then there exists a unique scheme $f : X \to S$ over $S$
together with a unique quasi-coherent sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$
and isomorphisms $i_U : f^{-1}(U) \to X_U$ and
$\theta_U : i_U^*\mathcal{F}_U \to \mathcal{F}|_{f^{-1}(U)}$
over $U$ such that
for $V \subset U \subset S$ affine open the composition
$$
\xymatrix{
X_V \ar[r]^{i_V^{-1}} &
f^{-1}(V) \ar[rr]^{inclusion} & &
f^{-1}(U) \ar[r]^{i_U} &
X_U
}
$$
is the morphism $\rho^U_V$, and the composition
\begin{equation}
\label{equation-glue}
(\rho^U_V)^*\mathcal{F}_U
=
(i_V^{-1})^*((i_U^*\mathcal{F}_U)|_{f^{-1}(V)})
\xrightarrow{\theta_U|_{f^{-1}(V)}}
(i_V^{-1})^*(\mathcal{F}|_{f^{-1}(V)})
\xrightarrow{\theta_V^{-1}}
\mathcal{F}_V
\end{equation}
is equal to $\theta^U_V$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
By Lemma \ref{lemma-relative-glueing} we get the scheme $X$ over $S$
and the isomorphisms $i_U$.
Set $\mathcal{F}'_U = i_U^*\mathcal{F}_U$ for $U \in \mathcal{B}$.
This is a quasi-coherent $\mathcal{O}_{f^{-1}(U)}$-module.
The maps
$$
\mathcal{F}'_U|_{f^{-1}(V)} =
i_U^*\mathcal{F}_U|_{f^{-1}(V)} =
i_V^*(\rho^U_V)^*\mathcal{F}_U \xrightarrow{i_V^*\theta^U_V}
i_V^*\mathcal{F}_V = \mathcal{F}'_V
$$
define isomorphisms
$(\theta')^U_V : \mathcal{F}'_U|_{f^{-1}(V)} \to \mathcal{F}'_V$
whenever $V \subset U$ are elements of $\mathcal{B}$.
Condition (d) says exactly that this is compatible in case
we have a triple of elements $W \subset V \subset U$ of $\mathcal{B}$.
This allows us to get well defined isomorphisms
$$
\varphi_{12} :
\mathcal{F}'_{U_1}|_{f^{-1}(U_1 \cap U_2)}
\longrightarrow
\mathcal{F}'_{U_2}|_{f^{-1}(U_1 \cap U_2)}
$$
whenever $U_1, U_2 \in \mathcal{B}$ by covering the intersection
$U_1 \cap U_2 = \bigcup V_j$ by elements $V_j$ of $\mathcal{B}$
and taking
$$
\varphi_{12}|_{V_j} =
\left((\theta')^{U_2}_{V_j}\right)^{-1}
\circ
(\theta')^{U_1}_{V_j}.
$$
We omit the verification that these maps do indeed glue to a
$\varphi_{12}$ and we omit the verification of the
cocycle condition of a glueing datum for sheaves
(as in Sheaves, Section \ref{sheaves-section-glueing-sheaves}).
By Sheaves, Lemma \ref{sheaves-lemma-glue-sheaves}
we get our $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$. We omit the verification
of (\ref{equation-glue}).
\end{proof}
\begin{remark}
\label{remark-relative-glueing-functorial}
There is a functoriality property for the constructions explained
in Lemmas \ref{lemma-relative-glueing} and
\ref{lemma-relative-glueing-sheaves}. Namely, suppose given
two collections of data $(f_U : X_U \to U, \rho^U_V)$ and
$(g_U : Y_U \to U, \sigma^U_V)$ as in Lemma \ref{lemma-relative-glueing}.
Suppose for every $U \in \mathcal{B}$ given
a morphism $h_U : X_U \to Y_U$ over $U$ compatible with
the restrictions $\rho^U_V$ and $\sigma^U_V$. Functoriality
means that this gives rise to a morphism of schemes
$h : X \to Y$ over $S$ restricting back to the morphisms $h_U$,
where $f : X \to S$ is obtained from
the datum $(f_U : X_U \to U, \rho^U_V)$ and $g : Y \to S$
is obtained from the datum $(g_U : Y_U \to U, \sigma^U_V)$.
\medskip\noindent
Similarly, suppose given
two collections of data
$(f_U : X_U \to U, \mathcal{F}_U, \rho^U_V, \theta^U_V)$ and
$(g_U : Y_U \to U, \mathcal{G}_U, \sigma^U_V, \eta^U_V)$
as in Lemma \ref{lemma-relative-glueing-sheaves}.
Suppose for every $U \in \mathcal{B}$ given
a morphism $h_U : X_U \to Y_U$ over $U$ compatible with
the restrictions $\rho^U_V$ and $\sigma^U_V$, and a morphism
$\tau_U : h_U^*\mathcal{G}_U \to \mathcal{F}_U$ compatible with
the maps $\theta^U_V$ and $\eta^U_V$. Functoriality
means that these give rise to a morphism of schemes
$h : X \to Y$ over $S$ restricting back to the morphisms $h_U$,
and a morphism $h^*\mathcal{G} \to \mathcal{F}$ restricting back
to the maps $h_U$
where $(f : X \to S, \mathcal{F})$ is obtained from the datum
$(f_U : X_U \to U, \mathcal{F}_U, \rho^U_V, \theta^U_V)$ and
where $(g : Y \to S, \mathcal{G})$ is obtained from the datum
$(g_U : Y_U \to U, \mathcal{G}_U, \sigma^U_V, \eta^U_V)$.

We omit the verifications and we omit a suitable formulation of

\section{Relative spectrum via glueing}
\label{section-spec-via-glueing}
\begin{situation}
\label{situation-relative-spec}
Here $S$ is a scheme, and $\mathcal{A}$ is a quasi-coherent
$\mathcal{O}_S$-algebra. This means that $\mathcal{A}$ is a
sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras which is quasi-coherent as an
$\mathcal{O}_S$-module.
\end{situation}
\noindent
In this section we outline how to construct a morphism
of schemes
$$
\underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A}) \longrightarrow S
$$
by glueing the spectra $\Spec(\Gamma(U, \mathcal{A}))$
where $U$ ranges over the affine opens of $S$. We first show that the
spectra of the values of $\mathcal{A}$ over affines form a
suitable collection of schemes, as in Lemma \ref{lemma-relative-glueing}.
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-spec-inclusion}
In Situation \ref{situation-relative-spec}.
Suppose $U \subset U' \subset S$ are affine opens.
Let $A = \mathcal{A}(U)$ and $A' = \mathcal{A}(U')$.
The map of rings $A' \to A$ induces a morphism
$\Spec(A) \to \Spec(A')$, and the diagram
$$
\xymatrix{
\Spec(A) \ar[r] \ar[d] &
\Spec(A') \ar[d] \\
U \ar[r] &
U'
}
$$
is cartesian.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Let $R = \mathcal{O}_S(U)$ and $R' = \mathcal{O}_S(U')$.
Note that the map $R \otimes_{R'} A' \to A$ is an isomorphism as
$\mathcal{A}$ is quasi-coherent
(see Schemes, Lemma \ref{schemes-lemma-widetilde-pullback} for example).
The result follows from the description of the fibre product of
affine schemes in
Schemes, Lemma \ref{schemes-lemma-fibre-product-affine-schemes}.
\end{proof}
\noindent
In particular the morphism $\Spec(A) \to \Spec(A')$
of the lemma is an open immersion.
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-transitive-spec}
In Situation \ref{situation-relative-spec}.
Suppose $U \subset U' \subset U'' \subset S$ are affine opens.
Let $A = \mathcal{A}(U)$, $A' = \mathcal{A}(U')$ and $A'' = \mathcal{A}(U'')$.
The composition of the morphisms
$\Spec(A) \to \Spec(A')$, and
$\Spec(A') \to \Spec(A'')$ of
Lemma \ref{lemma-spec-inclusion} gives the
morphism $\Spec(A) \to \Spec(A'')$
of Lemma \ref{lemma-spec-inclusion}.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
This follows as the map $A'' \to A$ is the composition of $A'' \to A'$ and
$A' \to A$ (because $\mathcal{A}$ is a sheaf).
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-glue-relative-spec}
In Situation \ref{situation-relative-spec}.
There exists a morphism of schemes
$$
\pi : \underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A}) \longrightarrow S
$$
with the following properties:
\begin{enumerate}
\item for every affine open $U \subset S$ there exists an isomorphism
$i_U : \pi^{-1}(U) \to \Spec(\mathcal{A}(U))$, and
\item for $U \subset U' \subset S$ affine open the composition
$$
\xymatrix{
\Spec(\mathcal{A}(U)) \ar[r]^{i_U^{-1}} &
\pi^{-1}(U) \ar[rr]^{inclusion} & &
\pi^{-1}(U') \ar[r]^{i_{U'}} &
\Spec(\mathcal{A}(U'))
}
$$
is the open immersion of Lemma \ref{lemma-spec-inclusion} above.
\end{enumerate}
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Follows immediately from
Lemmas \ref{lemma-relative-glueing},
\ref{lemma-spec-inclusion}, and
\ref{lemma-transitive-spec}.
\end{proof}
\section{Relative spectrum as a functor}
\label{section-spec}
\noindent
We place ourselves in Situation \ref{situation-relative-spec}, i.e.,
$S$ is a scheme and $\mathcal{A}$ is a quasi-coherent sheaf of
$\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras.
\medskip\noindent
For any $f : T \to S$ the pullback
$f^*\mathcal{A}$ is a quasi-coherent sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_T$-algebras.
We are going to consider pairs $(f : T \to S, \varphi)$ where
$f$ is a morphism of schemes and $\varphi : f^*\mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{O}_T$
is a morphism of $\mathcal{O}_T$-algebras. Note that this is the
same as giving a $f^{-1}\mathcal{O}_S$-algebra homomorphism
$\varphi : f^{-1}\mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{O}_T$, see
Sheaves, Lemma \ref{sheaves-lemma-adjointness-tensor-restrict}.
This is also the same as giving a $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebra map
$\varphi : \mathcal{A} \to f_*\mathcal{O}_T$, see
Sheaves, Lemma \ref{sheaves-lemma-adjoint-push-pull-modules}.
We will use all three ways of thinking about $\varphi$,
without further mention.
\medskip\noindent
Given such a
pair $(f : T \to S, \varphi)$ and a morphism $a : T' \to T$ we get
a second pair $(f' = f \circ a, \varphi' = a^*\varphi)$ which we
call the pullback of $(f, \varphi)$. One way to describe
$\varphi' = a^*\varphi$ is as the composition
$\mathcal{A} \to f_*\mathcal{O}_T \to f'_*\mathcal{O}_{T'}$
where the second map is $f_*a^\sharp$ with
$a^\sharp : \mathcal{O}_T \to a_*\mathcal{O}_{T'}$.
In this way we have defined a functor
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{equation-spec}
F : \Sch^{opp} & \longrightarrow & \textit{Sets} \\
T & \longmapsto & F(T) = \{\text{pairs }(f, \varphi) \text{ as above}\}
\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-spec-base-change}
In Situation \ref{situation-relative-spec}.
Let $F$ be the functor
associated to $(S, \mathcal{A})$ above.
Let $g : S' \to S$ be a morphism of schemes.
Set $\mathcal{A}' = g^*\mathcal{A}$. Let $F'$ be the
functor associated to $(S', \mathcal{A}')$ above.
Then there is a canonical isomorphism
$$
F' \cong h_{S'} \times_{h_S} F
$$
of functors.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
A pair $(f' : T \to S', \varphi' : (f')^*\mathcal{A}' \to \mathcal{O}_T)$
is the same as a pair $(f, \varphi : f^*\mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{O}_T)$
together with a factorization of $f$ as $f = g \circ f'$. Namely with
this notation we have
$(f')^* \mathcal{A}' = (f')^*g^*\mathcal{A} = f^*\mathcal{A}$.
Hence the lemma.
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-spec-affine}
In Situation \ref{situation-relative-spec}.
Let $F$ be the functor associated to $(S, \mathcal{A})$ above.
If $S$ is affine, then $F$ is representable by the
affine scheme $\Spec(\Gamma(S, \mathcal{A}))$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Write $S = \Spec(R)$ and $A = \Gamma(S, \mathcal{A})$.
Then $A$ is an $R$-algebra and $\mathcal{A} = \widetilde A$.
The ring map $R \to A$ gives rise to a canonical map
$$
f_{univ} : \Spec(A)
\longrightarrow
S = \Spec(R).
$$
We have
$f_{univ}^*\mathcal{A} = \widetilde{A \otimes_R A}$
by Schemes, Lemma \ref{schemes-lemma-widetilde-pullback}.
Hence there is a canonical map
$$
\varphi_{univ} :
f_{univ}^*\mathcal{A} = \widetilde{A \otimes_R A}
\longrightarrow
\widetilde A = \mathcal{O}_{\Spec(A)}
$$
coming from the $A$-module map $A \otimes_R A \to A$,
$a \otimes a' \mapsto aa'$. We claim that the pair
$(f_{univ}, \varphi_{univ})$ represents $F$ in this case.
In other words we claim that for any scheme $T$ the map
$$
\Mor(T, \Spec(A)) \longrightarrow \{\text{pairs } (f, \varphi)\},\quad
a \longmapsto (a^*f_{univ}, a^*\varphi)
$$
is bijective.
\medskip\noindent
Let us construct the inverse map.
For any pair $(f : T \to S, \varphi)$ we get the induced
ring map
$$
\xymatrix{
A = \Gamma(S, \mathcal{A}) \ar[r]^{f^*} &
\Gamma(T, f^*\mathcal{A}) \ar[r]^{\varphi} &
\Gamma(T, \mathcal{O}_T)
}
$$
This induces a morphism of schemes $T \to \Spec(A)$
by Schemes, Lemma \ref{schemes-lemma-morphism-into-affine}.
\medskip\noindent
The verification that this map is inverse to the map
displayed above is omitted.
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-spec}
In Situation \ref{situation-relative-spec}.
The functor $F$ is representable by a scheme.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
We are going to use Schemes, Lemma \ref{schemes-lemma-glue-functors}.
\medskip\noindent
First we check that $F$ satisfies the sheaf property for the
Zariski topology. Namely, suppose that $T$ is a scheme,
that $T = \bigcup_{i \in I} U_i$ is an open covering,
and that $(f_i, \varphi_i) \in F(U_i)$ such that
$(f_i, \varphi_i)|_{U_i \cap U_j} = (f_j, \varphi_j)|_{U_i \cap U_j}$.
This implies that the morphisms $f_i : U_i \to S$
glue to a morphism of schemes $f : T \to S$ such that
$f|_{I_i} = f_i$, see Schemes, Section \ref{schemes-section-glueing-schemes}.
Thus $f_i^*\mathcal{A} = f^*\mathcal{A}|_{U_i}$ and by assumption the
morphisms $\varphi_i$ agree on $U_i \cap U_j$. Hence by Sheaves,
Section \ref{sheaves-section-glueing-sheaves} these glue to a
morphism of $\mathcal{O}_T$-algebras $f^*\mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{O}_T$.
This proves that $F$ satisfies the sheaf condition with respect to
the Zariski topology.
\medskip\noindent
Let $S = \bigcup_{i \in I} U_i$ be an affine open covering.
Let $F_i \subset F$ be the subfunctor consisting of
those pairs $(f : T \to S, \varphi)$ such that
$f(T) \subset U_i$.
\medskip\noindent
We have to show each $F_i$ is representable.
This is the case because $F_i$ is identified with
the functor associated to $U_i$ equipped with
the quasi-coherent $\mathcal{O}_{U_i}$-algebra $\mathcal{A}|_{U_i}$,
by Lemma \ref{lemma-spec-base-change}.
Thus the result follows from Lemma \ref{lemma-spec-affine}.
\medskip\noindent
Next we show that $F_i \subset F$ is representable by open immersions.
Let $(f : T \to S, \varphi) \in F(T)$. Consider $V_i = f^{-1}(U_i)$.
It follows from the definition of $F_i$ that given $a : T' \to T$
we gave $a^*(f, \varphi) \in F_i(T')$ if and only if $a(T') \subset V_i$.
This is what we were required to show.
\medskip\noindent
Finally, we have to show that the collection $(F_i)_{i \in I}$
covers $F$. Let $(f : T \to S, \varphi) \in F(T)$.
Consider $V_i = f^{-1}(U_i)$. Since $S = \bigcup_{i \in I} U_i$
is an open covering of $S$ we see that $T = \bigcup_{i \in I} V_i$
is an open covering of $T$. Moreover $(f, \varphi)|_{V_i} \in F_i(V_i)$.
This finishes the proof of the lemma.
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-glueing-gives-functor-spec}
In Situation \ref{situation-relative-spec}.
The scheme $\pi : \underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A}) \to S$
constructed in Lemma \ref{lemma-glue-relative-spec}
and the scheme representing the functor $F$ are
canonically isomorphic as schemes over $S$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Let $X \to S$ be the scheme representing the functor $F$.
Consider the sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras
$\mathcal{R} = \pi_*\mathcal{O}_{\underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A})}$.
By construction of $\underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A})$
we have isomorphisms $\mathcal{A}(U) \to \mathcal{R}(U)$
for every affine open $U \subset S$; this follows from
Lemma \ref{lemma-glue-relative-spec} part (1).
For $U \subset U' \subset S$ open these isomorphisms are
compatible with the restriction mappings; this follows from
Lemma \ref{lemma-glue-relative-spec} part (2).
Hence by Sheaves, Lemma \ref{sheaves-lemma-restrict-basis-equivalence-modules}
these isomorphisms result from an isomorphism of $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras
$\varphi : \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{R}$. Hence this gives an element
$(\underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A}), \varphi)
\in F(\underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A}))$.
Since $X$ represents the functor $F$ we get a corresponding
morphism of schemes $can : \underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A}) \to X$
over $S$.
\medskip\noindent
Let $U \subset S$ be any affine open. Let $F_U \subset F$ be
the subfunctor of $F$ corresponding to pairs $(f, \varphi)$ over
schemes $T$ with $f(T) \subset U$. Clearly the base change
$X_U$ represents $F_U$. Moreover, $F_U$ is represented by
$\Spec(\mathcal{A}(U)) = \pi^{-1}(U)$ according to
Lemma \ref{lemma-spec-affine}. In other words $X_U \cong \pi^{-1}(U)$.
We omit the verification that this identification is brought about
by the base change of the morphism $can$ to $U$.
\end{proof}
\begin{definition}
\label{definition-relative-spec}
Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a quasi-coherent sheaf of
$\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras. The {\it relative spectrum of $\mathcal{A}$ over
$S$}, or simply the {\it spectrum of $\mathcal{A}$ over $S$} is the scheme
constructed in Lemma \ref{lemma-glue-relative-spec} which represents the
functor $F$ (\ref{equation-spec}), see
Lemma \ref{lemma-glueing-gives-functor-spec}.
We denote it $\pi : \underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A}) \to S$.
The ``universal family'' is a morphism of $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras
$$
\mathcal{A}
\longrightarrow
\pi_*\mathcal{O}_{\underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A})}
$$
\end{definition}
\noindent
The following lemma says among other things that forming the
relative spectrum commutes with base change.
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-spec-properties}
Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a quasi-coherent
sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras. Let
$\pi : \underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A}) \to S$
be the relative spectrum of $\mathcal{A}$ over $S$.
\begin{enumerate}
\item For every affine open $U \subset S$ the inverse image
$\pi^{-1}(U)$ is affine.
\item For every morphism $g : S' \to S$ we have
$S' \times_S \underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A}) =
\underline{\Spec}_{S'}(g^*\mathcal{A})$.
\item
The universal map
$$
\mathcal{A}
\longrightarrow
\pi_*\mathcal{O}_{\underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A})}
$$
is an isomorphism of $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras.
\end{enumerate}
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Part (1) comes from the description of the relative spectrum
by glueing, see Lemma \ref{lemma-glue-relative-spec}.
Part (2) follows immediately from Lemma \ref{lemma-spec-base-change}.
Part (3) follows because it is local on $S$ and it is clear in case $S$
is affine by Lemma \ref{lemma-spec-affine} for example.
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-canonical-morphism}
Let $f : X \to S$ be a quasi-compact and quasi-separated morphism
of schemes. By Schemes, Lemma \ref{schemes-lemma-push-forward-quasi-coherent}
the sheaf $f_*\mathcal{O}_X$ is a quasi-coherent sheaf of
$\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras. There is a canonical morphism
$$
can : X \longrightarrow \underline{\Spec}_S(f_*\mathcal{O}_X)
$$
of schemes over $S$.
For any affine open $U \subset S$ the restriction $can|_{f^{-1}(U)}$
is identified with the canonical morphism
$$
f^{-1}(U) \longrightarrow \Spec(\Gamma(f^{-1}(U), \mathcal{O}_X))
$$
coming from Schemes, Lemma \ref{schemes-lemma-morphism-into-affine}.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
The morphism comes, via the definition of $\underline{\Spec}$
as the scheme representing the functor $F$, from the canonical map
$\varphi : f^*f_*\mathcal{O}_X \to \mathcal{O}_X$ (which by adjointness of
push and pull corresponds to
$\text{id} : f_*\mathcal{O}_X \to f_*\mathcal{O}_X$).
The statement on the restriction to $f^{-1}(U)$
follows from the description of the relative spectrum over
affines, see Lemma \ref{lemma-spec-affine}.
\end{proof}
\section{Affine n-space}
\label{section-affine-n-space}
\noindent
As an application of the relative spectrum
we define affine $n$-space over a base scheme
$S$ as follows. For any integer $n \geq 0$ we can consider the
quasi-coherent sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras
$\mathcal{O}_S[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$. It is quasi-coherent because
as a sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_S$-modules it is just the direct sum
of copies of $\mathcal{O}_S$ indexed by multi-indices.
\begin{definition}
\label{definition-affine-n-space}
Let $S$ be a scheme and $n \geq 0$.
The scheme
$$
\mathbf{A}^n_S =
\underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{O}_S[T_1, \ldots, T_n])
$$
over $S$ is called {\it affine $n$-space over $S$}.
If $S = \Spec(R)$ is affine then we also call this
{\it affine $n$-space over $R$} and we denote it $\mathbf{A}^n_R$.
\end{definition}
\noindent
Note that $\mathbf{A}^n_R = \Spec(R[T_1, \ldots, T_n])$.
For any morphism $g : S' \to S$ of schemes we have
$g^*\mathcal{O}_S[T_1, \ldots, T_n] = \mathcal{O}_{S'}[T_1, \ldots, T_n]$
and hence $\mathbf{A}^n_{S'} = S' \times_S \mathbf{A}^n_S$ is the base
change. Therefore an alternative definition of affine $n$-space
is the formula
$$
\mathbf{A}^n_S = S \times_{\Spec(\mathbf{Z})} \mathbf{A}^n_{\mathbf{Z}}.
$$
Also, a morphism from an $S$-scheme $f : X \to S$
to $\mathbf{A}^n_S$ is given by a homomorphism of
$\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras
$\mathcal{O}_S[T_1, \ldots, T_n] \to f_*\mathcal{O}_X$.
This is clearly the same thing as giving the images of the $T_i$.
In other words, a morphism from $X$ to $\mathbf{A}^n_S$ over $S$
is the same as giving $n$ elements
$h_1, \ldots, h_n \in \Gamma(X, \mathcal{O}_X)$.
\section{Vector bundles}
\label{section-vector-bundle}
\noindent
Let $S$ be a scheme.
Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a quasi-coherent sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_S$-modules.
By Modules, Lemma \ref{modules-lemma-whole-tensor-algebra-permanence}
the symmetric algebra $\text{Sym}(\mathcal{E})$ of
$\mathcal{E}$ over $\mathcal{O}_S$
is a quasi-coherent sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras.
Hence it makes sense to apply the construction of the
previous section to it.
\begin{definition}
\label{definition-vector-bundle}
Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a quasi-coherent
$\mathcal{O}_S$-module\footnote{The reader may expect here
the condition that $\mathcal{E}$ is finite locally free. We do not
do so in order to be consistent with \cite[II, Definition 1.7.8]{EGA}.}.
The {\it vector bundle associated to $\mathcal{E}$} is
$$
\mathbf{V}(\mathcal{E}) = \underline{\Spec}_S(\text{Sym}(\mathcal{E})).
$$
\end{definition}
\noindent
The vector bundle associated to $\mathcal{E}$ comes with a bit
of extra structure. Namely, we have a grading
$$
\pi_*\mathcal{O}_{\mathbf{V}(\mathcal{E})} =
\bigoplus\nolimits_{n \geq 0} \text{Sym}^n(\mathcal{E}).
$$
which turns $\pi_*\mathcal{O}_{\mathbf{V}(\mathcal{E})}$
into a graded $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebra. Conversely, we can recover
$\mathcal{E}$ from the degree $1$ part of this.
Thus we define an abstract vector bundle as follows.
\begin{definition}
\label{definition-abstract-vector-bundle}
Let $S$ be a scheme. A {\it vector bundle $\pi : V \to S$ over $S$} is an
affine morphism of schemes such that $\pi_*\mathcal{O}_V$ is endowed with
the structure of a graded $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebra
$\pi_*\mathcal{O}_V = \bigoplus\nolimits_{n \geq 0} \mathcal{E}_n$
such that $\mathcal{E}_0 = \mathcal{O}_S$ and such that the maps
$$
\text{Sym}^n(\mathcal{E}_1) \longrightarrow \mathcal{E}_n
$$
are isomorphisms for all $n \geq 0$. A {\it morphism of vector bundles
over $S$} is a morphism $f : V \to V'$ such that the induced map
$$
f^* : \pi'_*\mathcal{O}_{V'} \longrightarrow \pi_*\mathcal{O}_V
$$
is compatible with the given gradings.
\end{definition}
\noindent
An example of a vector bundle over $S$ is affine $n$-space
$\mathbf{A}^n_S$ over $S$, see Definition \ref{definition-affine-n-space}.
This is true because
$\mathcal{O}_S[T_1, \ldots, T_n] = \text{Sym}(\mathcal{O}_S^{\oplus n})$.
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-category-vector-bundles}
The category of vector bundles over a scheme $S$ is
anti-equivalent to the category of quasi-coherent $\mathcal{O}_S$-modules.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Omitted. Hint: In one direction one uses the functor
$\underline{\Spec}_S(-)$ and in the other the functor
$(\pi : V \to S) \leadsto (\pi_*\mathcal{O}_V)_1$ (degree $1$ part).
\end{proof}
\section{Cones}
\label{section-cone}
\noindent
In algebraic geometry cones correspond to graded algebras. By our conventions
a graded ring or algebra $A$ comes with a grading
$A = \bigoplus_{d \geq 0} A_d$ by the nonnegative integers, see
Algebra, Section \ref{algebra-section-graded}.
\begin{definition}
\label{definition-cone}
Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a quasi-coherent
graded $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebra. Assume that $\mathcal{O}_S \to \mathcal{A}_0$
is an isomorphism\footnote{Often one imposes the assumption that
$\mathcal{A}$ is generated by $\mathcal{A}_1$ over $\mathcal{O}_S$. We do not
assume this in order to be consistent with \cite[II, (8.3.1)]{EGA}.}.
The {\it cone associated to $\mathcal{A}$} or the
{\it affine cone associated to $\mathcal{A}$}
is
$$
C(\mathcal{A}) = \underline{\Spec}_S(\mathcal{A}).
$$
\end{definition}
\noindent
The cone associated to a graded sheaf of $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebras
comes with a bit of extra structure. Namely, we obtain a grading
$$
\pi_*\mathcal{O}_{C(\mathcal{A})} =
\bigoplus\nolimits_{n \geq 0} \mathcal{A}_n
$$
Thus we can define an abstract cone as follows.
\begin{definition}
\label{definition-abstract-cone}
Let $S$ be a scheme. A {\it cone $\pi : C \to S$ over $S$} is an
affine morphism of schemes such that $\pi_*\mathcal{O}_C$ is endowed with
the structure of a graded $\mathcal{O}_S$-algebra
$\pi_*\mathcal{O}_C = \bigoplus\nolimits_{n \geq 0} \mathcal{A}_n$
such that $\mathcal{A}_0 = \mathcal{O}_S$. A {\it morphism of cones}
from $\pi : C \to S$ to $\pi' : C' \to S$
is a morphism $f : C \to C'$ such that the induced map
$$
f^* : \pi'_*\mathcal{O}_{C'} \longrightarrow \pi_*\mathcal{O}_C
$$
is compatible with the given gradings.
\end{definition}
\noindent
Any vector bundle is an example of a cone. In fact the category of
vector bundles over $S$ is a full subcategory of the category of cones
over $S$.
\section{Proj of a graded ring}
\label{section-proj}
\noindent
Let $S$ be a graded ring. Consider the topological space $\text{Proj}(S)$
associated to $S$, see Algebra, Section \ref{algebra-section-proj}.
We will endow this space with a sheaf of rings $\mathcal{O}_{\text{Proj}(S)}$
such that the resulting pair $(\text{Proj}(S), \mathcal{O}_{\text{Proj}(S)})$
will be a scheme.
\medskip\noindent
Recall that $\text{Proj}(S)$ has a basis of open sets $D_{+}(f)$,
$f \in S_d$, $d \geq 1$ which we call {\it standard opens}, see Algebra,
Section \ref{algebra-section-proj}. This terminology will always
imply that $f$ is homogeneous of positive degree even if we forget to
mention it. In addition, the intersection of two standard opens is another:
$D_{+}(f) \cap D_{+}(g) = D_{+}(fg)$, for $f, g \in S$ homogeneous of positive
degree.
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma-standard-open}
Let $S$ be a graded ring. Let $f \in S$ homogeneous of positive degree.
\begin{enumerate}
\item If $g\in S$ homogeneous of positive degree
and $D_{+}(g) \subset D_{+}(f)$, then
\begin{enumerate}
\item $f$ is invertible in $S_g$, and
$f^{\deg(g)}/g^{\deg(f)}$ is invertible in $S_{(g)}$,
\item $g^e = af$ for some $e \geq 1$ and $a \in S$ homogeneous,
\item there is a canonical $S$-algebra map $S_f \to S_g$,
\item there is a canonical $S_0$-algebra map $S_{(f)} \to S_{(g)}$
compatible with the map $S_f \to S_g$,
\item the map $S_{(f)} \to S_{(g)}$ induces an isomorphism
$$
(S_{(f)})_{g^{\deg(f)}/f^{\deg(g)}} \cong S_{(g)},
$$
\item these maps induce a commutative diagram of
topological spaces
$$
\xymatrix{
D_{+}(g) \ar[d] &
\{\mathbf{Z}\text{-graded primes of }S_g\} \ar[l] \ar[r] \ar[d] &
\Spec(S_{(g)}) \ar[d] \\
D_{+}(f) &
\{\mathbf{Z}\text{-graded primes of }S_f\} \ar[l] \ar[r] &
\Spec(S_{(f)})
}
$$
where the horizontal maps are homeomorphisms and the vertical maps
are open immersions,
\item there are compatible canonical $S_f$ and $S_{(f)}$-module
maps $M_f \to M_g$ and $M_{(f)} \to M_{(g)}$ for any graded $S$-module $M$,
and
\item the map $M_{(f)} \to M_{(g)}$ induces an isomorphism
$$
(M_{(f)})_{g^{\deg(f)}/f^{\deg(g)}} \cong M_{(g)}.
$$
\end{enumerate}
\item Any open covering of $D_{+}(f)$ can be refined to a finite
open covering of the form $D_{+}(f) = \bigcup_{i = 1}^n D_{+}(g_i)$.
\item Let $g_1, \ldots, g_n \in S$ be homogeneous of positive degree.
Then $D_{+}(f) \subset \bigcup D_{+}(g_i)$
if and only if
$g_1^{\deg(f)}/f^{\deg(g_1)}, \ldots, g_n^{\deg(f)}/f^{\deg(g_n)}$
generate the unit ideal in $S_{(f)}$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Recall that $D_{+}(g) = \Spec(S_{(g)})$ with identification
given by the ring maps $S \to S_g \leftarrow S_{(g)}$, see
Algebra, Lemma \ref{algebra-lemma-topology-proj}.
Thus $f^{\deg(g)}/g^{\deg(f)}$ is an element of $S_{(g)}$ which is not
contained in any prime ideal, and hence invertible,
see Algebra, Lemma \ref{algebra-lemma-Zariski-topology}.
We conclude that (a) holds.
