Can you give a simple description of the Zariski topology of a curve? –  Hurkyl Sep 23 '11 at 1:40
Rather than create new tags "algebraic" and "geometry" I fixed the tagging –  David White Sep 23 '11 at 2:51

A bijection between two topological spaces $f:X \rightarrow Y$ where open sets are complements of finite sets is a homeomorphism.
