Lemma 28.24.1. Let $X$ be a quasi-compact and quasi-separated scheme. Let $U \subset X$ be an open subscheme. The following are equivalent:
$U$ is retrocompact in $X$,
$U$ is quasi-compact,
$U$ is a finite union of affine opens, and
there exists a finite type quasi-coherent sheaf of ideals $\mathcal{I} \subset \mathcal{O}_ X$ such that $X \setminus U = V(\mathcal{I})$ (set theoretically).
Proof. The equivalence of (1), (2), and (3) follows from Lemma 28.2.3. Assume (1), (2), (3). Let $T = X \setminus U$. By Schemes, Lemma 26.12.4 there exists a unique quasi-coherent sheaf of ideals $\mathcal{J}$ cutting out the reduced induced closed subscheme structure on $T$. Note that $\mathcal{J}|_ U = \mathcal{O}_ U$ which is an $\mathcal{O}_ U$-modules of finite type. By Lemma 28.22.2 there exists a quasi-coherent subsheaf $\mathcal{I} \subset \mathcal{J}$ which is of finite type and has the property that $\mathcal{I}|_ U = \mathcal{J}|_ U$. Then $X \setminus U = V(\mathcal{I})$ and we obtain (4). Conversely, if $\mathcal{I}$ is as in (4) and $W = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R) \subset X$ is an affine open, then $\mathcal{I}|_ W = \widetilde{I}$ for some finitely generated ideal $I \subset R$, see Lemma 28.16.1. It follows that $U \cap W = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R) \setminus V(I)$ is quasi-compact, see Algebra, Lemma 10.29.1. Hence $U \subset X$ is retrocompact by Lemma 28.2.6. $\square$
