In algebraic geometry, a morphism
It is not enough that Y admits a covering by quasi-compact open subschemes whose pre-images are quasi-compact. To give an example, let A be a ring that does not satisfy the ascending chain conditions on radical ideals, and put
A morphism from a quasi-compact scheme to an affine scheme is quasi-compact.
Let
The composition of quasi-compact morphisms is quasi-compact. The base change of a quasi-compact morphism is quasi-compact.
An affine scheme is quasi-compact. In fact, a scheme is quasi-compact if and only if it is a finite union of open affine subschemes. Serre’s criterion gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a quasi-compact scheme to be affine.
A quasi-compact scheme has at least one closed point.
