Lemma 30.26.7. Let f : X \to S be a morphism of schemes which is locally of finite type. Let \mathcal{F} be a finite type, quasi-coherent \mathcal{O}_ X-module. The following are equivalent

  1. the support of \mathcal{F} is proper over S,

  2. the scheme theoretic support of \mathcal{F} (Morphisms, Definition 29.5.5) is proper over S, and

  3. there exists a closed subscheme Z \subset X and a finite type, quasi-coherent \mathcal{O}_ Z-module \mathcal{G} such that (a) Z \to S is proper, and (b) (Z \to X)_*\mathcal{G} = \mathcal{F}.

Proof. The support \text{Supp}(\mathcal{F}) of \mathcal{F} is a closed subset of X, see Morphisms, Lemma 29.5.3. Hence we can apply Definition 30.26.2. Since the scheme theoretic support of \mathcal{F} is a closed subscheme whose underlying closed subset is \text{Supp}(\mathcal{F}) we see that (1) and (2) are equivalent by Definition 30.26.2. It is clear that (2) implies (3). Conversely, if (3) is true, then \text{Supp}(\mathcal{F}) \subset Z (an inclusion of closed subsets of X) and hence \text{Supp}(\mathcal{F}) is proper over S for example by Lemma 30.26.3. \square
