Lemma 34.3.9. Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $\mathit{Sch}_{Zar}$ be a big Zariski site containing $S$. The underlying categories of the sites $\mathit{Sch}_{Zar}$, $(\mathit{Sch}/S)_{Zar}$, $S_{Zar}$, $(\textit{Aff}/S)_{Zar}$, and $S_{affine, Zar}$ have fibre products. In each case the obvious functor into the category $\mathit{Sch}$ of all schemes commutes with taking fibre products. The categories $(\mathit{Sch}/S)_{Zar}$, and $S_{Zar}$ both have a final object, namely $S/S$.

Proof. For $\mathit{Sch}_{Zar}$ it is true by construction, see Sets, Lemma 3.9.9. Suppose we have $U \to S$, $V \to U$, $W \to U$ morphisms of schemes with $U, V, W \in \mathop{\mathrm{Ob}}\nolimits (\mathit{Sch}_{Zar})$. The fibre product $V \times _ U W$ in $\mathit{Sch}_{Zar}$ is a fibre product in $\mathit{Sch}$ and is the fibre product of $V/S$ with $W/S$ over $U/S$ in the category of all schemes over $S$, and hence also a fibre product in $(\mathit{Sch}/S)_{Zar}$. This proves the result for $(\mathit{Sch}/S)_{Zar}$. If $U \to S$, $V \to U$ and $W \to U$ are open immersions then so is $V \times _ U W \to S$ and hence we get the result for $S_{Zar}$. If $U, V, W$ are affine, so is $V \times _ U W$ and hence the result for $(\textit{Aff}/S)_{Zar}$ and $S_{affine, Zar}$. $\square$
