Tangent Space
At a point on a differentiable manifold, it is a vector space that consists of the tangent vectors to the manifold at that point.
Variety
A geometric object defined as the set of solutions to a system of polynomial equations.
Morphism
A structure-preserving map between two algebraic objects, like varieties or schemes.
Rational Map
A map between varieties defined by ratios of polynomial functions.
Scheme
An advanced mathematical structure that enlarges the notion of algebraic variety to include multiplicities and 'bad' intersection points.
Homomorphism
A map between two algebraic structures of the same type that respects the structure.
Ideal
A set of polynomials within a ring that is closed under addition and under multiplication by any polynomial in the ring.
Module
A generalization of the concept of vector space over a field, where the field is replaced with a ring.
Ring
An algebraic structure consisting of a set equipped with two binary operations that generalize the arithmetic operations of addition and multiplication.
Field
A commutative ring in which every non-zero element has a multiplicative inverse.
