Nonaffineness of a punctured affine plane

ID: nonaffineness-of-a-punctured-affine-plane

The punctured affine plane is not an affine scheme. On its cover , global sections are inside the field of fractions. Coprimality of and proves this equality. If were affine, its inclusion into would be an isomorphism by affine scheme reconstruction from global sections, contradicting the omitted point.
