Functor represented by a scheme by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-10-25
The functor of points describes a scheme through its morphisms from test schemes. On commutative rings, it is covariant because a ring homomorphism reverses the corresponding affine-scheme map. A functor on rings is represented by in the algebraic-geometric sense when it is naturally isomorphic to . The representing scheme need not be affine; this is different from demanding a representable functor in the category of rings itself.
