Hilbert's Nullstellensatz and some Applications.

Synopsis:

The purpose of this talk is to provide a fairly simple proof of Hilbert's nullstellensatz. Nullstellensatz is a German word, roughly translating to "zero locus theorem." As such, the nullstellensatz ensures a correspondence between special subsets of our geometric space, kⁿ, and structured subsets of our algebraic structure k[X₁, . . . , X_n]. More specifically, we can establish a correspondence between affine algebraic subsets V of kⁿ and certain ideals I of k[X₁, . . . , X_n]. The upshot is that this lays the groundwork for the further development of modern algebraic geometry.
