Lemma 75.12.1. Let $S$ be a Noetherian affine scheme. Every injective object of $\mathit{QCoh}(\mathcal{O}_ S)$ is a filtered colimit $\mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits _ i \mathcal{F}_ i$ of quasi-coherent sheaves of the form
\[ \mathcal{F}_ i = (Z_ i \to S)_*\mathcal{G}_ i \]
where $Z_ i$ is the spectrum of an Artinian ring and $\mathcal{G}_ i$ is a coherent module on $Z_ i$.
Proof.
Let $S = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A)$. Let $\mathcal{J}$ be an injective object of $\mathit{QCoh}(\mathcal{O}_ S)$. Since $\mathit{QCoh}(\mathcal{O}_ S)$ is equivalent to the category of $A$-modules we see that $\mathcal{J}$ is equal to $\widetilde{J}$ for some injective $A$-module $J$. By Dualizing Complexes, Proposition 47.5.9 we can write $J = \bigoplus E_\alpha $ with $E_\alpha $ indecomposable and therefore isomorphic to the injective hull of a reside field at a point. Thus (because finite disjoint unions of Artinian schemes are Artinian) we may assume that $J$ is the injective hull of $\kappa (\mathfrak p)$ for some prime $\mathfrak p$ of $A$. Then $J = \bigcup J[\mathfrak p^ n]$ where $J[\mathfrak p^ n]$ is the injective hull of $\kappa (\mathfrak p)$ over $A_\mathfrak /\mathfrak p^ nA_\mathfrak p$, see Dualizing Complexes, Lemma 47.7.3. Thus $\widetilde{J}$ is the colimit of the sheaves $(Z_ n \to X)_*\mathcal{G}_ n$ where $Z_ n = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A_\mathfrak p/\mathfrak p^ nA_\mathfrak p)$ and $\mathfrak G_ n$ the coherent sheaf associated to the finite $A_\mathfrak /\mathfrak p^ nA_\mathfrak p$-module $J[\mathfrak p^ n]$. Finiteness follows from Dualizing Complexes, Lemma 47.6.1.
