Lemma 32.5.1. Let W be a quasi-affine scheme of finite type over \mathbf{Z}. Suppose W \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R) is an open immersion into an affine scheme. There exists a finite type \mathbf{Z}-algebra A \subset R which induces an open immersion W \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A). Moreover, R is the directed colimit of such subalgebras.

Proof. Choose an affine open covering W = \bigcup _{i = 1, \ldots , n} W_ i such that each W_ i is a standard affine open in \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R). In other words, if we write W_ i = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(R_ i) then R_ i = R_{f_ i} for some f_ i \in R. Choose finitely many x_{ij} \in R_ i which generate R_ i over \mathbf{Z}. Pick an N \gg 0 such that each f_ i^ Nx_{ij} comes from an element of R, say y_{ij} \in R. Set A equal to the \mathbf{Z}-algebra generated by the f_ i and the y_{ij} and (optionally) finitely many additional elements of R. Then A works. Details omitted. \square
