Elementary Algebraic Geometry
In algebraic geometry, the spectrum of a ring is a fundamental concept that refers to the set of prime ideals of that ring, often denoted as Spec(R). It serves as the basis for defining the Zariski topology, which provides a geometric framework for understanding algebraic varieties. The spectrum links algebraic properties to geometric interpretations, allowing for a deeper exploration of relationships between ideals and the varieties they define.
