Example 98.13.2. Let k be a field and set \Lambda = k[s, t]. Consider the functor F : \Lambda \text{-algebras} \longrightarrow \textit{Sets} defined by the rule

F(A) = \left\{ \begin{matrix} * & \text{if there exist }f_1, \ldots , f_ n \in A\text{ such that } \\ & A = (s, t, f_1, \ldots , f_ n)\text{ and } f_ i s = 0\ \forall i \\ \emptyset & \text{else} \end{matrix} \right.

Geometrically F(A) = * means there exists a quasi-compact open neighbourhood W of V(s, t) \subset \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) such that s|_ W = 0. Let \mathcal{X} \subset (\mathit{Sch}/\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\Lambda ))_{fppf} be the full subcategory consisting of schemes T which have an affine open covering T = \bigcup \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A_ j) with F(A_ j) = * for all j. Then \mathcal{X} satisfies [0], [1], [2], [3], and [4] but not [5]. Namely, over U = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k[s, t]/(s)) there exists an object x which is versal at u_0 = (s, t) but not at any other point. Details omitted.
