Lemma 38.23.4. Let f:X\to S be a morphism of schemes which is of finite presentation, flat, and pure. Let Y be a closed subscheme of X. Let F=f_*Y be the Weil restriction functor of Y along f, defined by

F : (\mathit{Sch}/S)^{opp} \to \textit{Sets}, \quad T \mapsto \left\{ \begin{matrix} \{ *\} & \text{if} & Y_ T\to X_ T \text{ is an isomorphism, } \\ \emptyset & \text{else.} & \end{matrix} \right.

Then F is representable by a closed immersion Z\to S. Moreover Z\to S is of finite presentation if Y\to S is.

Proof. Let \mathcal{I} be the ideal sheaf defining Y in X and let u:\mathcal{O}_ X\to \mathcal{O}_ X/\mathcal{I} be the surjection. Then for an S-scheme T, the closed immersion Y_ T\to X_ T is an isomorphism if and only if u_ T is an isomorphism. Hence the result follows from Theorem 38.23.3. \square
