Lemma 29.21.12. Let f : X \to Y be a morphism of schemes with diagonal \Delta : X \to X \times _ Y X. If f is locally of finite type then \Delta is locally of finite presentation. If f is quasi-separated and locally of finite type, then \Delta is of finite presentation.
Proof. Note that \Delta is a morphism of schemes over X (via the second projection X \times _ Y X \to X). Assume f is locally of finite type. Note that X is of finite presentation over X and X \times _ Y X is locally of finite type over X (by Lemma 29.15.4). Thus the first statement holds by Lemma 29.21.11. The second statement follows from the first, the definitions, and the fact that a diagonal morphism is a monomorphism, hence separated (Schemes, Lemma 26.23.3). \square
