CHAPTER 1 The Zariski topology, the Jacobian criterion and examples of simple algebras over a field

k

Introduction. This text treats in detail the concepts of simple algebra over a field

k,

simple homomorphism of rings,

simple algebraic variety, simple morphism of algebraic varieties and simple morphism of preschemes, which all reduce (in our treatment, by definition) to the concept of a simple algebra over a field

k.

For the first nine chapters it is only assumed that the reader is acquainted with basic algebra, a few elementary notions in general topology, and a few notions in commutative algebra, the appendix supplying a reference for several of the
