Lemma 77.2.3. In Situation 77.2.1. Let (g : T \to S, t' \leadsto t, \xi ) be an impurity of \mathcal{F} above y. Assume T = \mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits _{i \in I} T_ i is a directed limit of affine schemes over Y. Then for some i the triple (T_ i \to Y, t'_ i \leadsto t_ i, \xi _ i) is an impurity of \mathcal{F} above y.

Proof. The notation in the statement means this: Let p_ i : T \to T_ i be the projection morphisms, let t_ i = p_ i(t) and t'_ i = p_ i(t'). Finally \xi _ i \in |X_{T_ i}| is the image of \xi . By Divisors on Spaces, Lemma 71.4.7 we have \xi _ i \in \text{Ass}_{X_{T_ i}/T_ i}(\mathcal{F}_{T_ i}). Thus the only point is to show that t_ i \not\in f_{T_ i}(\overline{\{ \xi _ i\} }) for some i.

Let Z_ i \subset X_{T_ i} be the reduced induced scheme structure on \overline{\{ \xi _ i\} } \subset |X_{T_ i}| and let Z \subset X_ T be the reduced induced scheme structure on \overline{\{ \xi \} } \subset |X_ T|. Then Z = \mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits Z_ i by Limits of Spaces, Lemma 70.5.4 (the lemma applies because each X_{T_ i} is decent). Choose a field k and a morphism \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) \to T whose image is t. Then

\emptyset = Z \times _ T \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) = (\mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits Z_ i) \times _{(\mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits T_ i)} \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) = \mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits Z_ i \times _{T_ i} \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k)

because limits commute with fibred products (limits commute with limits). Each Z_ i \times _{T_ i} \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) is quasi-compact because X_{T_ i} \to T_ i is of finite type and hence Z_ i \to T_ i is of finite type. Hence Z_ i \times _{T_ i} \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) is empty for some i by Limits of Spaces, Lemma 70.5.3. Since the image of the composition \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k) \to T \to T_ i is t_ i we obtain what we want. \square
