46.2 Conventions
In this chapter we fix \tau \in \{ Zar, {\acute{e}tale}, smooth, syntomic, fppf\} and we fix a big \tau -site \mathit{Sch}_\tau as in Topologies, Section 34.2. All schemes will be objects of \mathit{Sch}_\tau . In particular, given a scheme S we obtain sites (\textit{Aff}/S)_\tau \subset (\mathit{Sch}/S)_\tau . The structure sheaf \mathcal{O} on these sites is defined by the rule \mathcal{O}(T) = \Gamma (T, \mathcal{O}_ T).
All rings A will be such that \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) is (isomorphic to) an object of \mathit{Sch}_\tau . Given a ring A we denote \textit{Alg}_ A the category of A-algebras whose objects are the A-algebras B of the form B = \Gamma (U, \mathcal{O}_ U) where S is an affine object of \mathit{Sch}_\tau . Thus given an affine scheme S = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) the functor
is an equivalence.
