Definition 56.13.2. Let $S$ be a scheme contained in $\textit{Sch}_{fppf}$. Let $F$ be an algebraic space over $S$. Let $\Delta : F \to F \times F$ be the diagonal morphism.

1. We say $F$ is separated over $S$ if $\Delta$ is a closed immersion.
2. We say $F$ is locally separated over $S$1 if $\Delta$ is an immersion.
3. We say $F$ is quasi-separated over $S$ if $\Delta$ is quasi-compact.
4. We say $F$ is Zariski locally quasi-separated over $S$2 if there exists a Zariski covering $F = \bigcup_{i \in I} F_i$ such that each $F_i$ is quasi-separated.

1. In the literature this often refers to quasi-separated and locally separated algebraic spaces.
2. This definition was suggested by B. Conrad.

Let $S$ be a scheme contained in $\Sch_{fppf}$.
Let $F$ be an algebraic space over $S$.
Let $\Delta : F \to F \times F$ be the diagonal morphism.
\begin{enumerate}
\item We say $F$ is {\it separated over $S$} if $\Delta$ is a closed immersion.
\item We say $F$ is {\it locally separated over $S$}\footnote{In the
literature this often refers to quasi-separated and
locally separated algebraic spaces.} if $\Delta$ is an
immersion.
\item We say $F$ is {\it quasi-separated over $S$} if $\Delta$ is quasi-compact.
\item We say $F$ is {\it Zariski locally quasi-separated over $S$}\footnote{This
definition was suggested by B.\ Conrad.} if there
exists a Zariski covering $F = \bigcup_{i \in I} F_i$ such that
each $F_i$ is quasi-separated.
