Lemma 26.9.2. Let X be a scheme. Let j : U \to X be an open immersion of locally ringed spaces. Then U is a scheme. In particular, any open subspace of X is a scheme.
Proof. Let U \subset X. Let u \in U. Pick an affine open neighbourhood u \in V \subset X. Because standard opens of V form a basis of the topology on V we see that there exists a f\in \mathcal{O}_ V(V) such that u \in D(f) \subset U. And D(f) is an affine scheme by Lemma 26.6.6. This proves that every point of U has an open neighbourhood which is affine. \square
