Valuative criterion for universal closedness

ID: valuative-criterion-for-universal-closedness

Among quasi-compact morphisms of schemes, universal closedness is equivalent to the existence part of the valuative criterion: for every valuation ring with fraction field , every compatible pair , extends to . All valuation rings must be tested without further hypotheses. A universally closed morphism is automatically a quasi-compact morphism.
