Prime spectrum of a commutative (semi)ring as a type

The prime spectrum of a commutative (semi)ring is the type of all prime ideals.

For the Zariski topology, see AlgebraicGeometry.PrimeSpectrum.Basic.

(It is also naturally endowed with a sheaf of rings, which is constructed in AlgebraicGeometry.StructureSheaf.)

Main definitions

• PrimeSpectrum R: The prime spectrum of a commutative (semi)ring R, i.e., the set of all prime ideals of R.
• zeroLocus s: The zero locus of a subset s of R is the subset of PrimeSpectrum R consisting of all prime ideals that contain s.
• vanishingIdeal t: The vanishing ideal of a subset t of PrimeSpectrum R is the intersection of points in t (viewed as prime ideals).

Conventions

We denote subsets of (semi)rings with s, s', etc... whereas we denote subsets of prime spectra with t, t', etc...

structure PrimeSpectrum (R : Type u) [CommSemiring R] : Type u

The prime spectrum of a commutative (semi)ring R is the type of all prime ideals of R.

It is naturally endowed with a topology (the Zariski topology), and a sheaf of commutative rings (see AlgebraicGeometry.StructureSheaf). It is a fundamental building block in algebraic geometry.

def PrimeSpectrum.zeroLocus {R : Type u} [CommSemiring R] (s : Set R) : Set (PrimeSpectrum R)

The zero locus of a set s of elements of a commutative (semi)ring R is the set of all prime ideals of the ring that contain the set s.

An element f of R can be thought of as a dependent function on the prime spectrum of R. At a point x (a prime ideal) the function (i.e., element) f takes values in the quotient ring R modulo the prime ideal x. In this manner, zeroLocus s is exactly the subset of PrimeSpectrum R where all "functions" in s vanish simultaneously.

def PrimeSpectrum.vanishingIdeal {R : Type u} [CommSemiring R] (t : Set (PrimeSpectrum R)) : Ideal R

The vanishing ideal of a set t of points of the prime spectrum of a commutative ring R is the intersection of all the prime ideals in the set t.

An element f of R can be thought of as a dependent function on the prime spectrum of R. At a point x (a prime ideal) the function (i.e., element) f takes values in the quotient ring R modulo the prime ideal x. In this manner, vanishingIdeal t is exactly the ideal of R consisting of all "functions" that vanish on all of t.

In a noetherian integral domain which is not a field, every non-zero ideal contains a non-zero product of prime ideals; in a field, the whole ring is a non-zero ideal containing only 0 as product or prime ideals ([samuel, § 3.3, Lemma 3])
