DEFINITION 5.5
An
-graded ring
is a commutative ring with a direct sum decomposition
(as a module)
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.
DEFINITION 5.6
$
$ is a homogeneous prime ideal of $S$
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.
