Irreducible components of the closure of a locally closed subset

166 Views Asked by At

I would like to ask for a reference of the following fact: the irreducible components of the closure of a locally closed subset are the closures of the irreducible components of the subset.

Thank you very much.

I am not an expert on that topic, but isnt it by definition? I mean you have your locally closed W= U $\bigcap$V with U open and V closed. By taking V=$\overline{W}=\bigcup V_i$ a decomposition in irredicuble subsets. Then you have that $W=\bigcup V_i\cap U$ and $\overline{V_i\cap U}=V_i$.

If I am wrong, I am almost sure that in the Harthsorne you can find something.
