For morphisms f,g:X→Y over a base S, their scheme-theoretic coincidence locus is the fibre product
Eq(f,g)=X×(f,g),Y×S​Y,ΔY/S​​Y.

It is the equalizer of f and g, hence is universal among subschemes on which they agree. It is locally closed because every diagonal is an immersion, and closed when Y→S is separated.
