Quasi-finite algebras #
In this file, we define the notion of quasi-finite algebras and prove basic properties about them
Main definition and results #
Algebra.QuasiFinite: The class of quasi-finite algebras. We say that anR-algebraSis quasi-finite ifκ(p) ⊗[R] Sis finite-dimensional overκ(p)for all primespofR.Algebra.QuasiFinite.finite_comap_preimage_singleton: Quasi-finite algebras have finite fibers.Algebra.QuasiFinite.iff_of_isArtinianRing: Over an artinian ring, an algebra is quasi-finite iff it is module-finite.Algebra.QuasiFinite.iff_finite_comap_preimage_singleton: For a finite-typeR-algebraS,Sis quasi-finite if and only ifSpec S → Spec Rhas finite fibers.Algebra.QuasiFiniteAt: IfSis anR-algebra andpa prime ofS, we say thatSisR-quasi-finite atpifSₚisR-quasi-finite.
We say that an R-algebra S is quasi-finite
if κ(p) ⊗[R] S is finite-dimensional over κ(p) for all primes p of R.
This is slightly different from the
stacks projects definition,
which requires S to be of finite type over R.
Also see Algebra.QuasiFinite.iff_finite_comap_preimage_singleton that
this is equivalent to having finite fibers for finite-type algebas.

If T is both a finite type R-algebra, and the localization of an integral R-algebra
(away from an element), then T is quasi-finite over R
If S is an R-algebra and p a prime of S, we say that S is R-quasi-finite at p
if Sₚ is R-quasi-finite. In the case where S is (essentially) of finite type over R,
this is equivalent to the usual definition that p is isolated in its fiber.

If R is an artinian ring, and S is a finite type R-algebra R-quasi-finite at p,
then {p} is clopen in Spec S.
R[X] is not quasi-finite over R at any prime.
If P is a prime of R[X]/I that is quasi finite over R,
then I is not contained in (P ∩ R)[X].
For usability, we replace I by the kernel of a surjective map R[X] →ₐ[R] S.
