Lemma 66.22.6. Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $X$ be an algebraic space over $S$. Let $x \in |X|$ be a point. The following are equivalent

  1. the local ring of $X$ at $x$ is reduced (Remark 66.7.6),

  2. $\mathcal{O}_{X, \overline{x}}$ is reduced for some geometric point $\overline{x}$ lying over $x$, and

  3. $\mathcal{O}_{X, \overline{x}}$ is reduced for any geometric point $\overline{x}$ lying over $x$.

Proof. The equivalence of (2) and (3) follows from the fact that the isomorphism type of $\mathcal{O}_{X, \overline{x}}$ only depends on $x \in |X|$, see Remark 66.19.11. Using Lemma 66.22.1 the equivalence of (1) and (2)$+$(3) comes down to the following statement: a local ring is reduced if and only if its strict henselization is reduced. This is More on Algebra, Lemma 15.45.4. $\square$
