Morphisms into proper schemes from maps of function fields #
Let k be a commutative ring, X an integral k-scheme all of whose local rings are valuation
rings (for instance a regular integral scheme of dimension one, a normal curve), and Y an
integral k-scheme proper over k. Every k-algebra map ψ : k(Y) → k(X) of function fields is
the pullback of rational functions along a unique dominant k-morphism X ⟶ Y
(AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.homOfFunctionFieldAlgHom): Spec ψ moves the generic point of X
into Y, and this morphism Spec k(X) ⟶ Y extends to all of X
(AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.homOfFunctionField).
The construction is functorial, so when X and Y both have valuation rings as local rings and
are both proper over k, a k-isomorphism of their function fields gives an isomorphism of
k-schemes (AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.isoOfFunctionFieldAlgEquiv). For curves over a field this
says that a regular proper curve is determined by its function field: proper normal curves which
are birational are isomorphic.
