Lemma 28.2.5. Let X be a quasi-compact and quasi-separated scheme. Any locally constructible subset of X is constructible.
Proof. As X is quasi-compact we can choose a finite affine open covering X = V_1 \cup \ldots \cup V_ m. As X is quasi-separated each V_ i is retrocompact in X by Lemma 28.2.3. Hence by Topology, Lemma 5.15.6 we see that E \subset X is constructible in X if and only if E \cap V_ j is constructible in V_ j. Thus we win by Lemma 28.2.1. \square
