Definition 28.19.1. Let $f : X \to S$ be a morphism of schemes.

1. We say that $f$ is quasi-finite at a point $x \in X$ if there exist an affine neighbourhood $\mathop{\rm Spec}(A) = U \subset X$ of $x$ and an affine open $\mathop{\rm Spec}(R) = V \subset S$ such that $f(U) \subset V$, the ring map $R \to A$ is of finite type, and $R \to A$ is quasi-finite at the prime of $A$ corresponding to $x$ (see above).
2. We say $f$ is locally quasi-finite if $f$ is quasi-finite at every point $x$ of $X$.
3. We say that $f$ is quasi-finite if $f$ is of finite type and every point $x$ is an isolated point of its fibre.

The code snippet corresponding to this tag is a part of the file morphisms.tex and is located in lines 3129–3147 (see updates for more information).

of $x$ and an affine open $\Spec(R) = V \subset S$ such that
$f(U) \subset V$, the ring map $R \to A$ is of finite type,
and $R \to A$ is quasi-finite at the prime of $A$ corresponding to $x$
(see above).

quasi-finite at every point $x$ of $X$.
