Glossary of algebraic geometryThis is a glossary of algebraic geometry. See also glossary of commutative algebra, glossary of classical algebraic geometry, and glossary of ring theory. For the number-theoretic applications, see glossary of arithmetic and Diophantine geometry. For simplicity, a reference to the base scheme is often omitted; i.e., a scheme will be a scheme over some fixed base scheme S and a morphism an S-morphism.
Toric varietyIn algebraic geometry, a toric variety or torus embedding is an algebraic variety containing an algebraic torus as an open dense subset, such that the action of the torus on itself extends to the whole variety. Some authors also require it to be normal. Toric varieties form an important and rich class of examples in algebraic geometry, which often provide a testing ground for theorems. The geometry of a toric variety is fully determined by the combinatorics of its associated fan, which often makes computations far more tractable.
Morphism of algebraic varietiesIn algebraic geometry, a morphism between algebraic varieties is a function between the varieties that is given locally by polynomials. It is also called a regular map. A morphism from an algebraic variety to the affine line is also called a regular function. A regular map whose inverse is also regular is called biregular, and the biregular maps are the isomorphisms of algebraic varieties.
Homogeneous coordinate ringIn algebraic geometry, the homogeneous coordinate ring R of an algebraic variety V given as a subvariety of projective space of a given dimension N is by definition the quotient ring R = K[X0, X1, X2, ..., XN] / I where I is the homogeneous ideal defining V, K is the algebraically closed field over which V is defined, and K[X0, X1, X2, ..., XN] is the polynomial ring in N + 1 variables Xi. The polynomial ring is therefore the homogeneous coordinate ring of the projective space itself, and the variables are the homogeneous coordinates, for a given choice of basis (in the vector space underlying the projective space).
Élément entierEn mathématiques, et plus particulièrement en algèbre commutative, les éléments entiers sur un anneau commutatif sont à la fois une généralisation des entiers algébriques (les éléments entiers sur l'anneau des entiers relatifs) et des éléments algébriques dans une extension de corps. C'est une notion très utile en théorie algébrique des nombres et en géométrie algébrique. Son émergence a commencé par l'étude des entiers quadratiques, en particulier les entiers de Gauss. On fixe un anneau commutatif A.
Morphisme de type finiEn géométrie algébrique, un morphisme de type fini peut être pensé comme une famille de variétés algébriques paramétrée par un schéma de base. C'est un des types de morphismes les plus couramment étudiés. Soit un morphisme de schémas. On dit que est de type fini si pour tout ouvert affine de , est quasi-compact (i.e. réunion finie d'ouverts affines) et que pour tout ouvert affine contenu dans , le morphisme canonique est de type fini.
