Lemma 70.17.3. Let f: X \to S be a quasi-compact and quasi-separated morphism from an algebraic space to a scheme S. If for every x \in |X| with image s = f(x) \in S the algebraic space X \times _ S \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\mathcal{O}_{S,s}) is a scheme, then X is a scheme.
Proof. Let x \in |X|. It suffices to find an open neighbourhood U of s = f(x) such that X \times _ S U is a scheme. As X \times _ S \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\mathcal{O}_{S, s}) is a scheme, then, since \mathcal{O}_{S, s} = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits \mathcal{O}_ S(U) where the colimit is over affine open neighbourhoods of s in S we see that
X \times _ S \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(\mathcal{O}_{S, s}) = \mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits X \times _ S U
By Lemma 70.5.11 we see that X \times _ S U is a scheme for some U. \square
