 Solution

The quotient. Evaluation $\mathbb{Z}[t]\to \mathbb{Z}[i]$, $t\mapsto i$, is a surjective ring homomorphism whose kernel of a ring homomorphism is $(t^2+1)$. Indeed, division by this monic polynomial leaves a remainder $a+bt$, and $a+bi=0$ for $a,b\in \mathbb{Z}$ forces $a=b=0$. Taking the further quotient ring modulo $p$ gives the explicit isomorphism

All fibers, including the generic fiber. For a point $s\in \mathrm{Spec}\mathbb{Z}$ with residue field $\kappa (s)$, its scheme-theoretic fiber isAt the generic point $s=(0)$, the residue field is $\mathbb{Q}$, and $t^2+1$ is an irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$, so $X_{(0)}=\mathrm{Spec}\mathbb{Q}(i)$. For a closed point $(p)$ the residue field is ${\mathbb{F}}_p$. The permitted criterion for a square root of $-1$ gives three cases. If $p\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}4)$, choose $a\in {\mathbb{F}}_p$ with $a^2=-1$; the two roots $a,-a$ are distinct, so the Chinese remainder theorem gives ${\mathbb{F}}_p[t]/(t^2+1)\cong {\mathbb{F}}_p\times {\mathbb{F}}_p$. If $p\equiv 3(\mathrm{mod}4)$, the quadratic has no root and is an irreducible polynomial, giving the finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_{p^2}$. Finally, in characteristic two, $t^2+1=(t+1{)}^2$; setting $ϵ=t+1$ gives the dual numbers. ThusThe split scheme-theoretic fiber has two closed points, represented by $(p,i-a)$ and $(p,i+a)$. The inert scheme-theoretic fiber has one closed point, represented by $(p)$. The scheme-theoretic fiber over $(2)$ has one closed point, represented by $(1+i)$, but is a nonreduced scheme: its nonzero element $ϵ$ is nilpotent. These descriptions retain the residue fields and the nilpotent structure, which a count of points alone would lose.

The topology. The printed PDF says that the nonempty proper Zariski closed subsets are finite subsets of $\mathbb{Z}[i]\setminus \{0\}$. Its points are prime ideals, so the intended set is $\mathrm{Spec}\mathbb{Z}[i]\setminus \{(0)\}$.

Put $R=\mathbb{Z}[i]$. Since $R$ is a principal ideal domain, every nonzero prime ideal is a maximal ideal. Each such prime ideal contains a nonzero Gaussian integer $z$, and therefore contains the positive integer $z\overline{z}$. Its contraction to $\mathbb{Z}$ is consequently a nonzero prime ideal $(p)$, so the scheme-theoretic fibers just computed list all the closed points of $X$. The sole remaining point is the generic point $(0)$.

Every proper Zariski closed subset is $V((a))$ with $a\ne 0$: if its defining ideal were zero, it would be all of $X$. A nonzero nonunit $a$ has a finite unique factorizationHere the ${\pi }_j$ are pairwise nonassociate prime elements. Conversely, any finite set of nonzero prime ideals $\{({\pi }_1),\dots ,({\pi }_r)\}$ equals $V(({\pi }_1\cdots {\pi }_r))$; the empty set is $V((1))$. ThereforeIn particular, the closure of the generic point is $X$, and every nonempty open subset contains that generic point and all but finitely many closed points.

A nonidentity automorphism. Complex conjugationis a ring automorphism fixing $\mathbb{Z}$. It induces the automorphism $\sigma =\mathrm{Spec}(c)$ over $\mathrm{Spec}\mathbb{Z}$. Since $c(i)=-i\ne i$, this is not the identity morphism of schemes. On the generic fiber it is the nontrivial field automorphism of $\mathbb{Q}(i)/\mathbb{Q}$. On a split scheme-theoretic fiber it swaps the two closed points, since $i-a$ maps to $-(i+a)$. On an inert scheme-theoretic fiber it fixes the only point but induces the nonidentity finite-field Frobenius automorphism $z\mapsto z^p$ on its residue field, because $i^p=-i$. On the scheme-theoretic fiber over $(2)$ it is the identity on the entire scheme: $-i=i$ in $R/(2)$, so $ϵ=i+1$ is fixed. Thus
