Dec 18, 2011 at 23:58 comment added Karl Schwede Matsumura's Commutative Ring Theory handles this by looking at geometric points (which it calls algebraic points).

Dec 17, 2011 at 21:43 comment added Robert Kucharczyk @Mahdi: Well, let's just wait for him to explain what he actually means, because at least for my taste the current formulation can be interpreted in many different ways, yielding many different answers.
Dec 17, 2011 at 21:40 comment added Mahdi Majidi-Zolbanin @Robert: Not scheme theoretically, of course! I think in the question variety does not mean scheme. That's how I interpreted it.
Dec 17, 2011 at 21:34 comment added Robert Kucharczyk @Mahdi: well, that exactly depends on what you understand by "variety". If you work in scheme theory (as your notation $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{R}}^2$ suggests), then they are not the same. Their sets of $\mathbb{R}$-valued points are.
Dec 17, 2011 at 21:31 comment added Mahdi Majidi-Zolbanin In $\mathbb{A}^2_{\mathbb{R}}$ polynomials $x^2+y^2$ and $x^4+y^4$ define the same variety.
Dec 17, 2011 at 21:28 comment added Robert Kucharczyk Also you have to make precise your use of the term "variety", since this is used differently by different authors. But with any of the usual definitions, your statement of Hilbert's Nullstellensatz is wrong.
Dec 17, 2011 at 21:23 comment added Robert Kucharczyk You certainly mean "algebraically closed" instead of "complete".
