<p>Hello, could anyone explain the notion of ''general point'' and ''general line'', ''general hyperplane'' in algebraic geometry, What does it mean exactly general line in the 3 dimensional projective space? Thank you.</p>

<p>Hello, could someboty help me, every advice or hint will be very helpful (or if you can tell me some good book). Thank you so much!</p> <ol> <li><p>X and Y are two varieties and there are points P of X et Q of Y such that the local rings O(X,P) and O(Y,Q) are isomorphic as C-algebras. I should show that there are open sets U in X ( P is in U) and V in Y ( Q is in V) and an isomorphism of U to V that sends P to Q. How can I construct that isomorphism? Is this true for projective varieties or only for affine?</p></li> <li><ul> <li>If Y is a complex algebraic variety and Z an open subvariety of Y.
