Lemma 28.27.1. Let X be a scheme. Then X is quasi-affine if and only if \mathcal{O}_ X is ample.
Proof. Suppose that X is quasi-affine. Set A = \Gamma (X, \mathcal{O}_ X). Consider the open immersion
j : X \longrightarrow \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A)
from Lemma 28.18.4. Note that \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) = \text{Proj}(A[T]), see Constructions, Example 27.8.14. Hence we can apply Lemma 28.26.12 to deduce that \mathcal{O}_ X is ample.
Suppose that \mathcal{O}_ X is ample. Note that \Gamma _*(X, \mathcal{O}_ X) \cong A[T] as graded rings. Hence the result follows from Lemmas 28.26.11 and 28.18.4 taking into account that \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) = \text{Proj}(A[T]) for any ring A as seen above. \square
