Exercise 111.34.12. Let k be an algebraically closed field. Let f : X \to Y be a morphism of projective varieties such that f^{-1}(\{ y\} ) is finite for every closed point y \in Y. Prove that f is finite as a morphism of schemes. Hints: (a) being finite is a local property, (b) try to reduce to Exercise 111.34.11, and (c) use a closed immersion X \to \mathbf{P}^ n_ k to get a closed immersion X \to \mathbf{P}^ n_ Y over Y.
