Lemma 83.5.11. In the situation of Definition 83.5.8. Let $\phi : U \to X$ be a morphism of algebraic spaces over $B$. Assume

  1. $\phi $ is set-theoretically $R$-invariant,

  2. $R$ is reduced, and

  3. $X$ is locally separated over $B$.

Then $\phi $ is $R$-invariant.

Proof. Consider the equalizer

\[ Z = R \times _{(\phi , \phi ) \circ j, X \times _ B X, \Delta _{X/B}} X \]

algebraic space. Then $Z \to R$ is an immersion by assumption (3). By assumption (1) $|Z| \to |R|$ is surjective. This implies that $Z \to R$ is a bijective closed immersion (use Schemes, Lemma 26.10.4) and by assumption (2) we conclude that $Z = R$. $\square$
