Hi

take an open and closed subset A of the topological space of a scheme
X, then one can furnish it with the structure of an open subscheme of
X by restricting the sheaf on X to A. On the other hand you can put
the reduced structure on it to make it a closed subscheme of X. Are
there two structures the same? Is this true if X is reduced (and some
other good properties...) at least?

Yours
Alex

Can anybody give me a clue if this is true?

Be careful about the distinction between a sheaf of abelian groups on
a scheme, and a module over the scheme's structure sheaf; restricting
a sheaf to a subscheme makes sense for a sheaf of abelian groups, but
to restrict an O_X-module to A, you need to specify how the restricted
sheaf is an O_A-module. If you write f for the inclusion of A into X,
then f^{-1} restricts a sheaf on X to A but it's only defined on
sheaves of abelian groups on X, while f^*, defined on O_X-modules, is
what gives you an O_A-module. The two operations are different. I
suspect a confusion about these two operations on two different kinds
of sheaves is what is at the root of your question.

Thank you for your answer. I am only interested in the structure sheaf
of X. So my question is: Let A be a open and closed subset of a scheme
X. Does it make a difference to consider A as a closed subscheme of X
with the reduced structure sheaf or as an open subscheme with the
restriction of the structure sheaf of X?

Call A1 the scheme you get by restricting X to A
as an open subset, and call A2 the scheme you get
by inducing on A the structure of a reduced closed
subscheme (and assume that X is reduced, for otherwise
A1 and A2 are aleady different when X=A...)

Can you describe the values at an open subset U
of A of the structure sheafs of A1 and A2?

Ok, thanks, I think it works.

Your A here is supposed to be an open and closed subset of X, but such
subschemes A are, in a certain sense, scarce. Any integral scheme X
has a generic point, a point which is in every open subset of X. If A
is nonempty and open and closed in X, then A must contain the generic
point, since A is open; but the complement of A is also open, so
either the complement of A is empty, or the complement of A also
contains the generic point. It cannot be true that both A and its
complement contain the generic point; so either A is all of X, or A is
empty.

If the scheme X is not connected, say with two components, then each
one is open and closed, right?

There are plenty of reduced schemes which are not connected...
Say... Spec k[x]/(x-x^2), for example.

The ring k[x]/(x-x^2) has zero divisors, though, so Spec k[x]/(x-x^2)
is not an integral scheme.

If a scheme X is integral, then any affine subscheme of X is the prime
spectrum of an integral domain--so it is connected.

The restriction to integral schemes was introduced
by you. The OP is obviously interested in non-connected
schemes. His question was: "are the structures of
open subscheme and of reduced closed subscheme the
same on a connected component?"

Oops--I suddenly don't think my remarks were helpful at all. Sorry for
making things more unclear.
