i.e. it is $\Spec(K)$, and the induced morphism $\Spec(K[\varepsilon]) \to \Spec(K)$ corresponds to the inclusion $K \hookrightarrow K[\varepsilon]$. This inclusion is not an epimorphism of local commutative rings, since the identity of $K[\varepsilon]$ and the local homomorphism $K[\varepsilon] \to K[\varepsilon]$, $\varepsilon \mapsto 0$, agree on $K$. Hence, the morphism $\Spec(K[\varepsilon]) \to \Spec(K)$ is not a monomorphism by the classification of monomorphisms.

The idea is the same as for <a href="/category/CAlg(R)">$\CAlg(R)$</a>: a classifying morphism is invariant under automorphisms that preserve the subobject. Instead of the polynomial ring $K[X,Y]$ used there, we work with the local Artinian ring $K[X,Y]/\langle X,Y \rangle^2$, since its spectrum is a one-point space, and morphisms from such a space into a locally ringed space are described by a single point and a stalk map.

Assume that $\top : \Spec(R) \to \Omega$ is a regular subobject classifier. Let $K$ be a residue field of $R$, and let $A \coloneqq K[X,Y]/\langle X,Y \rangle^2$, whose elements can be written uniquely as $a + bX + cY$ with $a,b,c \in K$. The projection $\pi : A \to K$, $a + bX + cY \mapsto a$ is surjective, hence a regular epimorphism in $\CAlg(R)$. Since $\Spec : \CAlg(R)^{\op} \to \LRS_R$ is fully faithful and a right adjoint, $\Spec(\pi) : \Spec(K) \to \Spec(A)$ is a regular monomorphism. So there is a unique morphism $\chi : \Spec(A) \to \Omega$ such that the square
159+
$$\begin{CD} \Spec(K) @>{\Spec(\pi)}>> \Spec(A) \\ @V{!}VV @VV{\chi}V \\ \Spec(R) @>>{\top}> \Omega \end{CD}$$

is a pullback. Let $p \in \Omega$ be the image of the unique point of $\Spec(A)$, and let $\varphi : \O_{\Omega,p} \to A$ be the stalk map of $\chi$.
161+
162+
Let $\sigma : A \to A$ be the automorphism that swaps $X$ and $Y$. Since $\pi \circ \sigma = \pi$, the square
163+
$$\begin{CD} \Spec(K) @>{\Spec(\pi)}>> \Spec(A) \\ @V{\id}VV @VV{\Spec(\sigma)}V \\ \Spec(K) @>>{\Spec(\pi)}> \Spec(A) \end{CD}$$
164+
commutes, and it is a pullback since $\Spec(\sigma)$ is an isomorphism. Pasting it on top of the first square shows that $\chi \circ \Spec(\sigma)$ also classifies $\Spec(\pi)$, so that $\chi \circ \Spec(\sigma) = \chi$ by uniqueness. On stalks, this means $\sigma \circ \varphi = \varphi$, i.e. $\varphi$ takes values in the fixed ring
165+
$$A^\sigma = \{a + b(X+Y) : a,b \in K\}.$$

Now let $u : A \to A/\langle X+Y \rangle$ be the quotient map, and let $v : A \to A/\langle X+Y \rangle$ map $a + bX + cY$ to the class of $a$, so that $v$ factors through $\pi$. Both $u$ and $v$ map $a + b(X+Y)$ to the class of $a$, so they agree on $A^\sigma$. A morphism from the one-point space $\Spec(A/\langle X+Y \rangle)$ to $\Omega$ is the same as a point of $\Omega$ together with a local homomorphism from its stalk to $A/\langle X+Y \rangle$. For $\chi \circ \Spec(u)$ and $\chi \circ \Spec(v)$, these are $p$ together with $u \circ \varphi$ and $v \circ \varphi$, which coincide since $\varphi$ takes values in $A^\sigma$. Since $\Spec(v)$ factors through $\Spec(\pi)$, it follows that
167+
$$\chi \circ \Spec(u) = \chi \circ \Spec(v) = \top \circ {!}.$$
168+
Since the first square is a pullback, $\Spec(u)$ factors through $\Spec(\pi)$. Since $\Spec$ is fully faithful, $u$ factors through $\pi$. But then $X \in \ker(\pi) \subseteq \ker(u) = \langle X+Y \rangle$, which is a contradiction.

We claim that $p'$ is not an epimorphism. In fact, since the functor $\Spec : \CAlg(R)^{\op} \to \Sch_R$ is right adjoint to the global sections functor $\Gamma : \Sch_R \to \CAlg(R)^{\op}$, the latter preserves epimorphisms. So if $p'$ were an epimorphism, then $\Gamma(p') = j$ would be a monomorphism in $\CAlg(R)$, i.e. injective. But every element of $I$ has a vanishing coefficient at $t^3$, so $t^3 \notin I$, whereas $t^3 = t^2 \cdot t \in IB$. Thus, $[t^3] \in A/I$ a non-zero element in $\ker(j)$.
