Affine scheme reconstruction from global sections
ID: affine-scheme-reconstruction-from-global-sections
For an affine scheme , its ring of global sections is . A morphism of schemes between affine schemes is determined contravariantly by its map on these rings. Consequently a morphism between affine schemes is an isomorphism of schemes exactly when that ring map is an isomorphism. The affine hypothesis is essential, as the punctured affine plane shows.
