Zariski coverage on finitely presented rings

ID: zariski-coverage-on-finitely-presented-rings

On the opposite of the category of finitely presented unital commutative rings, a basic covering family is , where finitely many generate the unit ideal. Include the empty cover of the zero ring. Localization commutes with base change, so these families define a coverage on a category. Their sheaf topos classifies the coherent theory of local rings. This coverage is subcanonical: representable functors obey the usual localization gluing equations.
