Lemma 26.21.1. The diagonal morphism of a morphism between affines is closed.

Proof. The diagonal morphism associated to the morphism \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(S) \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R) is the morphism on spectra corresponding to the ring map S \otimes _ R S \to S, a \otimes b \mapsto ab. This map is clearly surjective, so S \cong S \otimes _ R S/J for some ideal J \subset S \otimes _ R S. Hence \Delta is a closed immersion according to Example 26.8.1. \square
