Separated Morphism


A separated morphism is a morphism f:X->S of schemes whose diagonal morphism Delta_(X/S):X->X×_(S)X is a closed immersion.

Separatedness is the algebraic-geometric analogue of the T2-space condition. It is preserved by composition and base change. Every proper morphism is separated.
