Exercise 102.38.4. Show there does not exist a nonconstant morphism of schemes $\mathbf{P}^2_{\mathbf{C}} \to \mathbf{P}^1_{\mathbf{C}}$ over $\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\mathbf{C})$. Here a constant morphism is one whose image is a single point. (Hint: If the morphism is not constant consider the fibres over $0$ and $\infty$ and argue that they have to meet to get a contradiction.)

$\mathbf{P}^2_{\mathbf{C}} \to \mathbf{P}^1_{\mathbf{C}}$
over $\Spec(\mathbf{C})$. Here a {\it constant morphism} is
one whose image is a single point.
