Lemma 29.21.7. A closed immersion i : Z \to X is of finite presentation if and only if the associated quasi-coherent sheaf of ideals \mathcal{I} = \mathop{\mathrm{Ker}}(\mathcal{O}_ X \to i_*\mathcal{O}_ Z) is of finite type (as an \mathcal{O}_ X-module).
Closed immersions of finite presentation correspond to quasi-coherent sheaves of ideals of finite type.
Proof. On any affine open \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R) \subset X we have i^{-1}(\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R)) = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R/I) and \mathcal{I} = \widetilde{I}. Moreover, \mathcal{I} is of finite type if and only if I is a finite R-module for every such affine open (see Properties, Lemma 28.16.1). And R/I is of finite presentation over R if and only if I is a finite R-module. Hence we win. \square
