SectionsGenerate X U V asserts that on U ⊓ V the subring
generated by restrictions of sections from U and from V is the
whole ring (Lec 7, Prop 9 generation condition).
Instances For
Over an affine base S, the diagonal Δ_g is affine iff
intersections of affine opens in X remain affine.
Equivalence reformulating diagonal surjectivity on affine opens of the fiber square as a section-generation condition on intersections (Lec 7, Prop 9).
Lec 7, Prop 9 (forward direction): if f : X → Spec k is separated
then intersections of affine opens of X are affine.
For f : X → Spec k, the diagonal is affine iff intersections of
affine opens of X are affine (Lec 7, Prop 9).
Lec 7, Prop 9: f : X → Spec k is separated iff (i) intersections
of affine opens of X are affine and (ii) on every such intersection
the restrictions from each side generate the ring of sections.
