@TonyTheLion2500 Now, let’s say J = Jac(R) then x is in every max ideal M, thus rx is in every max ideal too. So adding a unit, like 1, boots xr + 1 out of every maximal ideal, and consequently EVERY proper ideal (all within maximals by Zorn’s) so it must be a unit
@TonyTheLion2500 Units can be characterized in a comm ring to lie outside of **every** proper ideal (as they generate the whole ring, prove this :3).
So if we have a proper ideal J, and x in J, then adding a unit u to x boots it out of the ideal, since otherwise (u + x) - x = u in J
@BarbaraFantechi@vaiter I am somewhat familiar with manifolds, (co)tangent bundles and the functorial algebras (tensor, symmetric, exterior) algebras on them, but not a super rigorous formal knowledge. I am following Spivak soon once I finish Folland’s book
@BarbaraFantechi@vaiter I mainly want to get a grasp of sheaves, schemes and specifically the (quasi)-coherent sheave end of things.
Thank you for your insight btw
@BarbaraFantechi@vaiter Though I do find the Analytic/Algebraic GAGA stuff interesting, it’s a bit over my head since I am currently studying Functional Analysis and not “pure” complex analysis
@BarbaraFantechi@vaiter Do you recommend Hartshorne for AG? I do have an interest in AG and particularly Abelian variety stuff but I swear asking people for AG recs starts localized civil wars in any context I ask in
