On every open set , define . In characteristic of a ring , the binomial theorem gives , so these are ring homomorphisms; they commute with restrictions and hence define a morphism of sheaves of rings.
On an affine chart , the inverse image of a prime ideal under the Frobenius endomorphism is
by primality. The induced continuous map is therefore the identity. These local morphisms agree on overlaps, giving the Absolute Frobenius morphism . Its action on the underlying space and on every local section was prescribed, so the morphism is unique.
