Let $A= \bigoplus_{n \ge 0} A_n$ be a commutative Noetherian graded ring and $f \in A_d$ a nonzero homogeneous element of degree $d>0$. The natural ring map $q:A \to A/(f)$ induces a well defined ...

Let $V$ be a projectively normal closed subvariety of some projective space over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$. Let $R$ be the local ring at the vertex of the affine cone over $V$ ($R$ is ...

Let $(R, M)$ be a valuation ring with algebraically closed fraction field $k$. Let $L = R/M$ be the residue field of $R$; it follows that $L$ is algebraically closed. I would like to understand the ...
