Talk:Normal scheme

Maybe I'm being stupid, but isn't irreducible and reduced (for a scheme) the same thing as integral? For a ring at least, "irreducible" = "nilradical prime" and "reduced" = "nilradical zero". -- Taku (talk) 18:07, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

You'll be glad to hear that you are not being stupid. See for example Prop. II.3.1 of Hartshorne. RobHar (talk) 21:01, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Duh. Why didn't I just read the text. Thanks anyway. -- Taku (talk) 16:18, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Re: "A normal complex variety X has the property, when viewed as a stratified space using the classical topology, that every link is connected." It would be nice if someone would define (or link to a definition of, although I don't see an article that looks appropriate) "link" (and perhaps give the sense of "connected" that is meant).

Todo

• Add example of normalization using integral closure
• Normalize hyperelliptic curves
• Mention surjectivity of normalization via going up theorem
