If a nonempty scheme X has no nontrivial idempotent in Γ(X,OX​), then its underlying topological space is connected. Indeed, a decomposition into two nonempty clopen subsets would produce the global regular function equal to zero on one component and one on the other. In particular, Γ(X,OX​) being a field implies connectedness.
