Definition 87.26.1. Let S be a scheme. A morphism of formal algebraic spaces over S is called a monomorphism if it is an injective map of sheaves.
87.26 Monomorphisms
Here is the definition.
An example is the following. Let X be an algebraic space and let T \subset |X| be a closed subset. Then the morphism X_{/T} \to X from the formal completion of X along T to X is a monomorphism. In particular, monomorphisms of formal algebraic spaces are in general not representable.
Lemma 87.26.2. The composition of two monomorphisms is a monomorphism.

Lemma 87.26.3. A base change of a monomorphism is a monomorphism.

Lemma 87.26.4. Let S be a scheme. Let f : X \to Y be a morphism of formal algebraic spaces over S. The following are equivalent
f is a monomorphism,
for every scheme T and morphism T \to Y the projection X \times _ Y T \to T is a monomorphism of formal algebraic spaces,
for every affine scheme T and morphism T \to Y the projection X \times _ Y T \to T is a monomorphism of formal algebraic spaces,
there exists a covering \{ Y_ j \to Y\} as in Definition 87.11.1 such that each X \times _ Y Y_ j \to Y_ j is a monomorphism of formal algebraic spaces, and
there exists a family of morphisms \{ Y_ j \to Y\} such that \coprod Y_ j \to Y is a surjection of sheaves on (\mathit{Sch}/S)_{fppf} such that each X \times _ Y Y_ j \to Y_ j is a monomorphism for all j,
there exists a morphism Z \to Y of formal algebraic spaces which is representable by algebraic spaces, surjective, flat, and locally of finite presentation such that X \times _ Y Z \to X is a monomorphism, and

Proof. Omitted. \square
