Lemma 5.15.7. Let X be a topological space. Let Z \subset X be a closed subset such that X \setminus Z is quasi-compact. Then for a constructible set E \subset X the intersection E \cap Z is constructible in Z.

Proof. Suppose that V \subset X is retrocompact open in X. It suffices to show that V \cap Z is retrocompact in Z by Lemma 5.15.3. To show this let W \subset Z be open and quasi-compact. The subset W' = W \cup (X \setminus Z) is quasi-compact, open, and W = Z \cap W'. Hence V \cap Z \cap W = V \cap Z \cap W' is a closed subset of the quasi-compact open V \cap W' as V is retrocompact in X. Thus V \cap Z \cap W is quasi-compact by Lemma 5.12.3. \square
