Universality of the category of schemes

Algebraic Geometry 2012-06-12 v3 Category Theory

Abstract

In this paper, we generalize the construction method of schemes to other algebraic categories, and show that the category of coherent schemes can be characterized by a universal property, if we fix the class of Grothendieck topology. Also, we introduce the notion of \scrC\scr{C}-schemes, which is a further generalization of coherent schemes and still shares common properties with ordinary schemes.
