Lemma 31.2.5. Let X be a locally Noetherian scheme. Let \mathcal{F} be a coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-module. Then \text{Ass}(\mathcal{F}) \cap U is finite for every quasi-compact open U \subset X.
Proof. This is true because the set of associated primes of a finite module over a Noetherian ring is finite, see Algebra, Lemma 10.63.5. To translate from schemes to algebra use that U is a finite union of affine opens, each of these opens is the spectrum of a Noetherian ring (Properties, Lemma 28.5.2), \mathcal{F} corresponds to a finite module over this ring (Cohomology of Schemes, Lemma 30.9.1), and finally use Lemma 31.2.2. \square
