A group scheme over is a -scheme equipped with multiplication , identity , and inversion satisfying the associativity, identity, and inverse diagrams.
Consider
The diagonal morphism is . For a finite-type -scheme the rational identity point is closed, so its inverse image is closed. Thus the diagonal is a closed immersion and every such group scheme over a field is a separated scheme.
In characteristic , the infinitesimal additive group
is a nonreduced group scheme. Its comultiplication is , which is well defined because .
