Commutative Algebra 63

Serre’s Criterion for Normality Throughout this article, fix an algebraically closed field k. In this section, A denotes a noetherian domain. We will describe Serre’s criterion, which is a necessary and sufficient condtion for A to be normal. In the … Continue reading

Commutative Algebra 36

In this article, we will study the topology of Spec A when A is noetherian. For starters, let us consider irreducible topological spaces in greater detail. Irreducible Spaces Recall that an irreducible topological space is a non-empty space X satisfying any of the … Continue reading
