In algebra, Zariski's lemma, introduced by Oscar Zariski, states that if ''K'' is a finitely generated algebra over a field ''k'' and if ''K'' is a field, then ''K'' is a finite field extension of ''k''. An important application of the lemma is a proof of the weak form of Hilbert's nullstellensatz: if ''I'' is a proper ideal of (''k'' algebraically closed field), then ''I'' has a zero; i.e., there is a point ''x'' in such that for all ''f'' in ''I''.〔Proof: it is enough to consider a maximal ideal . Let and be the natural surjection. By the lemma, and then for any , :; that is to say, is a zero of .〕 The lemma may also be understood from the following perspective. In general, a ring ''R'' is a Jacobson ring if and only if every finitely generated ''R''-algebra that is a field is finite over ''R''. Thus, the lemma follows from the fact that a field is a Jacobson ring. == Proof == Two direct proofs, one of which is due to Zariski, are given in Atiyah–MacDonald. The lemma is also a consequence of the Noether normalization lemma. Indeed, by the normalization lemma, ''K'' is a finite module over the polynomial ring where are algebraically independent over ''k''. But since ''K'' has Krull dimension zero, the polynomial ring must have dimension zero; i.e., . For Zariski's original proof, see the original paper.〔http://projecteuclid.org/download/pdf_1/euclid.bams/1183510605〕 In fact, the lemma is a special case of the general formula for a finitely generated ''k''-algebra ''A'' that is an integral domain, which is also a consequence of the normalization lemma. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zariski's lemma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
