Lemma 72.10.4. Let S be a scheme. Let X be an algebraic space over S and let G be a finite group acting freely on X. Set Y = X/G as in Properties of Spaces, Lemma 66.34.1. For y \in |Y| the following are equivalent

  1. y is in the schematic locus of Y, and

  2. there exists an affine open U \subset X containing the preimage of y.

Proof. It follows from the construction of Y = X/G in Properties of Spaces, Lemma 66.34.1 that the morphism X \to Y is surjective and étale. Of course we have X \times _ Y X = X \times G hence the morphism X \to Y is even finite étale. It is also surjective. Thus the lemma follows from Decent Spaces, Lemma 68.10.3. \square
