types of morphisms in Differential/Algebriac geometry

127 Views Asked by At

In differential geometry, given two manifolds, only special types of morphisms between them are, submersions/immersions/and some one or two other types of maps.

In Algebriac geometry, given two schemes, there are more than 10 types of maps between schemes that are of interest.

  1. Separated
  2. Quasi compact
  3. Locally of finite presentation
  4. Proper
  5. Affine
  6. Finite
  7. Flat
  8. Smooth
  9. Unramified
  10. Etale
  11. Embedding
  12. Closed embedding
  13. fpqc morphism

and many more whose names itself far from my reach. It is difficult to even remember some names, let alone how they are defined.

Question : Why is it the case that maps between schemes are super different from that of manifolds? Or, are there analogues of above maps in differential geometry setup as well?
