DEFINITION 5.5   An $\mathbb{N}$-graded ring $S$ is a commutative ring with a direct sum decomposition

$\displaystyle S=\bigoplus_{i\in \mathbb{N}} S_i$   (as a module)

such that % latex2html id marker 1031
$ S_i S_j \subset S_{i+j} \quad (\forall i,j\in \mathbb{N})$ holds. We define its irrelevant ideal $S_+$ as

$\displaystyle S_+=\bigoplus_{i>0} S_i.
$

An element $f$ of $S$ is said to be homogenous if it is an element of $\cup S_i$. An ideal of $S$ is said to be homogeneous if it is generated by homogeneous elements. Homogeneous subalgebras are defined in a same way.

DEFINITION 5.6  

$\displaystyle \operatorname{Proj}(S)=\{\mathfrak{p};$$ \mathfrak{p}$ is a homogeneous prime ideal of $S$$\displaystyle ,
\mathfrak{p}\not \supset S_+ \}
$

For any homogeneous element $f$ of $S$, we define a subset $D_f$ of $\operatorname{Proj}(S)$ as

$\displaystyle D_f=\{ \mathfrak{p}\in \operatorname{Proj}S; \mathfrak{p}\notin f\} .
$

$\operatorname{Proj}S$ has a topology (Zariski topology) which is defined by employing $\{D(f)\} $ as an open base.

PROPOSITION 5.7   For any graded ring $S$ and its homogeneous element $f$, $S[\frac{1}{f}]$ also carries a structure of graded ring. There is a homeomorphism

$\displaystyle D_f \sim \operatorname{Spec}(S[\frac{1}{f}])_0).
$

We may define, via these homeo altogether, a locally ringed space structure on $\operatorname{Proj}(S)$.
