Homotopy of ringed finite spaces

A ringed finite space is a ringed space whose underlying topological space is finite. The category of ringed finite spaces contains, fully faithfully, the category of finite topological spaces and the category of affine schemes. Any ringed space, endowed with a finite open covering, produces a ringed finite space. We study the homotopy of ringed finite spaces, extending Stong's homotopy classification of finite topological spaces to ringed finite spaces. We also prove that the category of quasi-coherent modules on a ringed finite space is a homotopy invariant.
