Is $mathbb{A}^3 - {0}$ a separated variety?












1












$begingroup$


To check if $X=mathbb{A}^n -{0}$ is separated is equivalent to check that the diagonal is closed. In this case I think that: $X times X= {(x,y)| x,y in X }$ then $Delta(X)=Z(y-x)- {0}subset mathbb{A}^n $ but i'm not sure if this is closed or not. I think that it is open can you confirm that?

          There are several errors in your description of $Delta(X)$. First, it lives inside $Xtimes X$, not $Bbb A^n$. Secondly, you're using $x$ and $y$ for points of $X$ and then also as coordinates (when you subtract them), which doesn't really make sense. The second error is maybe not so bad, but the first is serious: it gives you the wrong answer. This variety is separated, as the diagonal copy of $X$ is in fact closed inside $Xtimes X$, exactly as the zero locus of $x_i-y_i$ where the $x_i$ and $y_i$ are coordinates on the first and second $X$, respectively.
