Lemma 67.10.8. Let S be a scheme. Let k be a field and let Z \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) be a monomorphism of algebraic spaces over S. Then either Z = \emptyset or Z = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k).

Proof. By Lemmas 67.10.3 and 67.4.9 we see that Z is a separated algebraic space. Hence there exists an open dense subspace Z' \subset Z which is a scheme, see Properties of Spaces, Proposition 66.13.3. By Schemes, Lemma 26.23.11 we see that either Z' = \emptyset or Z' \cong \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k). In the first case we conclude that Z = \emptyset and in the second case we conclude that Z' = Z = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) as Z \to \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) is a monomorphism which is an isomorphism over Z'. \square
