Locally constructible subsets of $\mathrm{Spec} \mathbb{Z}$

53 Views Asked by At

I am trying to work through some definitions in algebraic geometry using some easy examples and I would like to have a confirmation or disproof of the following:

The locally constructible subsets of $\mathrm{Spec} \mathbb{Z}$ are exactly the open and the closed subsets.

My reasoning:

  • Every subset of $\mathrm{Spec} \mathbb{Z}$ is quasi-compact, hence also retrocompact
  • The constructible subsets are therefore exactly the open and closed subsets
  • The same is true for the locally contructible subsets

I have skipped the reasonings in between, of course, but are the above statements correct?
