Lemma 27.16.5. In Situation 27.15.1. The functor F above is representable by a scheme.
Proof. Let U_ d \to S be the scheme representing the functor F_ d defined above. Let \mathcal{L}_ d, \psi ^ d : \pi _ d^*\mathcal{A}^{(d)} \to \bigoplus _{n \geq 0} \mathcal{L}_ d^{\otimes n} be the universal object. If d | d', then we may consider the quadruple (d', \pi _ d, \mathcal{L}_ d^{\otimes d'/d}, \psi ^ d|_{\mathcal{A}^{(d')}}) which determines a canonical morphism U_ d \to U_{d'} over S. By construction this morphism corresponds to the transformation of functors F_ d \to F_{d'} defined above.
For every affine open \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R) = V \subset S setting A = \Gamma (V, \mathcal{A}) we have a canonical identification of the base change U_{d, V} with the corresponding open subscheme of \text{Proj}(A), see Lemma 27.16.2. Moreover, the morphisms U_{d, V} \to U_{d', V} constructed above correspond to the inclusions of opens in \text{Proj}(A). Thus we conclude that U_ d \to U_{d'} is an open immersion.
This allows us to construct X by glueing the schemes U_ d along the open immersions U_ d \to U_{d'}. Technically, it is convenient to choose a sequence d_1 | d_2 | d_3 | \ldots such that every positive integer divides one of the d_ i and to simply take X = \bigcup U_{d_ i} using the open immersions above. It is then a simple matter to prove that X represents the functor F. \square
