Remark on a theorem in Mumford's Red Book of Varieties and Schemes

Abstract

In this paper, we firstly point out, by a counter example, that Proposition 6.4 of Section 6 in Bump's book (Algebraic Geometry) is error, and then give a correct statement with proof. We finally point out a gap in the proof of Theorem 3, in Chapter I Section 8, of Mumford's red book, and indicate a way to complete it.
