such that holds. We define its irrelevant ideal as
An element of is said to be homogenous if it is an element of . An ideal of is said to be homogeneous if it is generated by homogeneous elements. Homogeneous subalgebras are defined in a same way.
For any homogeneous element of , we define a subset of as
has a topology (Zariski topology) which is defined by employing as an open base.
We may define, via these homeo altogether, a locally ringed space structure on .
