	Algebraic variety - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An affine algebraic variety is essentially the set of common zeroes of a set of polynomials, and is one of the central objects of study in classical (and to some extent, modern) algebraic geometry.
		An abstract algebraic variety is a particular kind of scheme; the generalization to schemes on the geometric side enables an extension of the correspondence described above to a wider class of rings.
		Basically, a variety is a scheme whose structure sheaf is a sheaf of K-algebras with the property that the rings R that occur above are all domains and are all finitely generated K-algebras, i.e., quotients of polynomial algebras by prime ideals.

	Algebraic geometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The category of affine varieties is the opposite category to the category of finitely generated reduced k-algebras and their homomorphisms.
		Varieties are subsumed in Alexander Grothendieck's concept of a scheme.
		An important class of varieties, not easily understood directly from their defining equations, are the abelian varieties, which are the projective varieties whose points form an abelian group.

	Algebraic group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In algebraic geometry, an algebraic group (or group variety) is a group that is an algebraic variety, such that the multiplication and inverse are given by regular functions on the variety.
		According to another basic theorem, any group in the category of affine varieties has a faithful linear representation: we can consider it to be a matrix group over K, defined by polynomials over K and with group operation simply matrix multiplication.
		Affine group scheme is the concept dual to a type of Hopf algebra.

	DC MetaData for:Higher K-theory of toric varieties
		A natural higher K-theoretic analogue of the triviality of vector bundles on affine toric varieties is the conjecture on nilpotence of the multiplicative action of the natural numbers on the K-theory of these varieties.
		Moreover, it yields a similar behavior of not necessarily affine toric varieties and, further, of their equivariant closed subsets.
		The conjecture is equivalent to the claim that the relevant admissible morphisms of the category of vector bundles on an affine toric variety can be supported by monomials not in a non-degenerate corner subcone of the underlying polyhedral cone.

		Projective varieties can be thought of as ``completions'', ``compactifications'', or ``closures'' of affine varieties.
		Conversely, affine varieties can be thought of as building blocks of projective varieties (indeed, they constitute an open cover), and hence local properties are easier to describe using affine varieties.
		However, projective varieties vary ``nicely'' in families and hence parametrizing and moduli spaces are usually constructed for projective varieties with certain defining common properties.

		We try to prove that any scheme automorphism of each geometrically irreducible component of a certain Shimura variety of PEL type modulo $p$ (of prime-to-$p$ level) is given by an isogeny action (generalizing a result of Shimura in characteristic 0).
		Over a non archimedian local field of equal characteristics, the orbital integrals which enter in the statement of the ``Fundamental Lemma'' for unitary groups are directly related to the affine Springer fibers for the general linear groups and it is not difficult to formulate a geometric conjecture which implies the ``Fundamental Lemma''.
		As a result of this analysis, weobtain a description of the l-adic cohomology of the Shimura varieties in terms of the l-adic cohomology with compact supports of the Igusa varieties and of the Rapoport-Zink spaces, in the appropriate Grothendieck group.

	Introduction to projective varieties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		My approach consists of avoiding all the algebraic preliminaries that a standard algebraic geometry course uses for affine varieties and thus start directly with projective varieties (which are the varieties that have good properties).
		The main technique I use is the Hilbert polynomial, from which it is possible to rigorously and intuitively introduce all the invariants of a projective variety (dimension, degree and arithmetic genus).
		The price to pay for this shortcut is that the way to produce the important results (the most important one for practical purposes is the theorem about the dimension of the fibers) is not always clear, since many results or even definitions have local nature.
