Compactification for essentially finite-type maps

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show that any separated essentially finite-type map f of noetherian schemes globally factors as f=hi where i is an injective localization map and h a separated finite-type map. In particular, via Nagata's compactification theorem, h can be chosen to be proper. We apply these results to Grothendieck duality. We also obtain other factorization results and provide essentialized versions of many general results such as Zariski's Main Theorem, Chow's Lemma, and blow-up descriptions of birational maps.


Let \(f : X \to Y\) be a morphism between Noetherian schemes. Nagata's compactification asserts that \(f\) is the composition of an open immersion and a proper morphism if \(f\) is separated and of finite type. In the present paper, the author shows its analogue for essentially of finite type morphisms. He introduces a new notion ``localizing immersion and shows that \(f\) is the composition of a localizing immersion and a proper morphism if \(f\) is separated and essentially of finite type. As consequences, he gives new versions of Zariski's Main Theorem, Chow's Lemma and Grothendieck duality.
