Lemma 72.11.4. Let X be an algebraic space over a perfect field k (for example k has characteristic zero).

  1. For x \in |X|, if \mathcal{O}_{X, \overline{x}} is reduced, then X is geometrically reduced at x.

  2. If X is reduced, then X is geometrically reduced over k.

Proof. The first statement follows from Algebra, Lemma 10.43.6 and the definition of a perfect field (Algebra, Definition 10.45.1). The second statement follows from the first. \square
