   Format: MarkdownItexWith some of the discussion taking place [here](http://nforum.mathforge.org/discussion/5149/extensive-category/) in mind, I added some remarks regarding set-theoretic issues at [[scheme]]. I hope I got it right; please check.

   Format: MarkdownItexIt looks correct. I fixed some funny typesetting of primes. The second axiom in the sheaf-style definition can probably be replaced by "there is an epimorphism $\coprod_i U_i \to X$ in the category of sheaves", but I don't immediately see how to show that the two conditions are equivalent without knowing that both definitions lead to schemes in the locally ringed space sense.

   Format: MarkdownItexNot very helpful comment, but [[scheme]] doesn't strike me as particularly clear. Couldn't the functor-of-points approach be given greater prominence? This could be related to 'Examples and similar dualities' of [[Isbell duality]], no? As a more concrete point, this >the category $Aff:=Psh(CRing^{op})$ of presheaves on the opposite category of commutative rings should presumably be >the category $Psh(Aff):=Psh(CRing^{op})$ of presheaves on the opposite category of commutative rings. Or the defn $Aff :=CRing^{op}$ happens earlier. The page [[generalized schemes]] seems friendlier. But while on that page >To recall the equivalence between the two points of view, every scheme $X$ gives rise to a representable [[presheaf]] on the formal dual of commutative rings >$$ X(-) : CRing \to Set $$ >$$ A \mapsto Hom_{CRing}(Spec A, X) $$ is taking Hom space in the wrong category, no?

   As a more concrete point, this

   the category $Aff:=Psh(CRing^{op})$ of presheaves on the opposite category of commutative rings

   should presumably be

   the category $Psh(Aff):=Psh(CRing^{op})$ of presheaves on the opposite category of commutative rings.

   Or the defn $Aff :=CRing^{op}$ happens earlier.

   The page generalized schemes seems friendlier. But while on that page

   To recall the equivalence between the two points of view, every scheme $X$ gives rise to a representable presheaf on the formal dual of commutative rings

   $$X(-) : CRing \to Set$$ $$A \mapsto Hom_{CRing}(Spec A, X)$$

   is taking Hom space in the wrong category, no?

   Format: MarkdownItex[[affine scheme]] isn't so clear either. E.g., in the term $Spec(\Gamma_Y \mathcal{O}_Y)$, we can find the $\mathcal{O}_Y$ from the linked page [[ringed space]], but I can't see $\Gamma_Y$ defined anywhere.

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks. I tried to liven up [[functor of points]] with an illustration. Is there a standard example of a non-representable functor of points?

   Format: MarkdownItexThe functor of points of a non-affine scheme is not representable by an affine scheme (of course). For instance, $\mathbb{P}^n$. Or do you mean a (pre)sheaf that isn't representable by any scheme?
