Lemma 67.52.2. Let S be a scheme. Let f : X \to Y be a morphism of algebraic spaces over S. Assume f is quasi-finite and separated. Let Y' be the normalization of Y in X. Picture:

\xymatrix{ X \ar[rd]_ f \ar[rr]_{f'} & & Y' \ar[ld]^\nu \\ & Y & }

Then f' is a quasi-compact open immersion and \nu is integral. In particular f is quasi-affine.

Proof. By Lemma 67.51.1 the morphism f is representable. Hence we may apply Lemma 67.52.1. Thus there exists an open subspace U' \subset Y' such that (f')^{-1}(U') = X (!) and X \to U' is an isomorphism! In other words, f' is an open immersion. Note that f' is quasi-compact as f is quasi-compact and \nu : Y' \to Y is separated (Lemma 67.8.9). Hence for every affine scheme Z and morphism Z \to Y the fibre product Z \times _ Y X is a quasi-compact open subscheme of the affine scheme Z \times _ Y Y'. Hence f is quasi-affine by definition. \square
