Definition 26.12.5. Let X be a scheme. Let Z \subset X be a closed subset. A scheme structure on Z is given by a closed subscheme Z' of X whose underlying set is equal to Z. We often say “let (Z, \mathcal{O}_ Z) be a scheme structure on Z” to indicate this. The reduced induced scheme structure on Z is the one constructed in Lemma 26.12.4. The reduction X_{red} of X is the reduced induced scheme structure on X itself.
