Lemma 59.88.5. Let $T$ be a quasi-compact and quasi-separated scheme. Let $P$ be a property for quasi-compact and quasi-separated schemes over $T$ . Assume

If $T'' \to T'$ is a thickening of quasi-compact and quasi-separated schemes over $T$ , then $P(T'')$ if and only if $P(T')$ .
If $T' = \mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits T_ i$ is a limit of an inverse system of quasi-compact and quasi-separated schemes over $T$ with affine transition morphisms and $P(T_ i)$ holds for all $i$ , then $P(T')$ holds.
If $Z \subset T'$ is a closed subscheme with quasi-compact complement $V \subset T'$ and $P(T')$ holds, then either $P(V)$ or $P(Z)$ holds.

Then $P(T)$ implies $P(\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(K))$ for some morphism $\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(K) \to T$ where $K$ is a field.

Proof. Consider the set $\mathfrak T$ of closed subschemes $T' \subset T$ such that $P(T')$ . By assumption (2) this set has a minimal element, say $T'$ . By assumption (1) we see that $T'$ is reduced. Let $\eta \in T'$ be the generic point of an irreducible component of $T'$ . Then $\eta = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(K)$ for some field $K$ and $\eta = \mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits V$ where the limit is over the affine open subschemes $V \subset T'$ containing $\eta$ . By assumption (3) and the minimality of $T'$ we see that $P(V)$ holds for all these $V$ . Hence $P(\eta )$ by (2) and the proof is complete. $\square$
