Scheme-theoretic closures of quasi-compact immersions as compactifications #
Let i : X ⟶ Y be a quasi-compact immersion and q : Y ⟶ S a proper morphism. Then X is a
quasi-compact open subscheme of the scheme-theoretic image of i, and that image is proper over
S as a closed subscheme of Y. So the scheme-theoretic closure of X in Y is a dense
compactification of i ≫ q (TauCeti.DenseCompactification.ofImmersion). It keeps the full
scheme structure of X, including nilpotents. Every dense compactification whose ambient scheme
maps to Y compatibly with i and q maps to it
(TauCeti.DenseCompactification.ofImmersionLift), and such a map is unique because dense
compactifications form a thin category.
This construction is shared by the dense replacement of a compactification C (the case
i = C.j, q = C.p), the common refinement of two compactifications (the immersion of X into
the fibre product of their ambient schemes) and the compactifications induced along quasi-compact
immersions.

The scheme-theoretic image of a quasi-compact immersion i : X ⟶ Y into a proper S-scheme
q : Y ⟶ S, as a dense compactification of f = i ≫ q.
Instances For
A dense compactification E of f maps to the scheme-theoretic closure of i, given a map
h from its ambient scheme to Y which restricts to i on X and lies over S. Its interior is
scheme-theoretically dense, so h factors through the closed subscheme.
Instances For
On ambient schemes, the map to the closure of i followed by the closed immersion into Y
is the given map.
