Viewing algebraic varieties as Homomorphism












0












$begingroup$


Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, And let $V(mathfrak{a})$ be the algebraic variety generated by the ideal $mathfrak{a} subset k[x_1,cdots,x_n]$. I have read that we can identify $V(mathfrak{a})$ as



$V(mathfrak{a})=text{Hom}_{k-alg}( k[x_1,cdots,x_n]/ mathfrak{a} , k)$.



But I don't see how. I know that the points of $V(mathfrak{a})$ is in bijection with the maximal ideals of $k[x_1,cdots,x_n]/ mathfrak{a}$ by Hilbert's Nullstellenstaz, but I don't see how to view it as $k$-algebra homomorphism.

    The kernal of a morphisn $k[x]/a to k$ is a maximal ideal.

    Adding to the above comment: An algebra homomorphism from a polynomial algebra is uniquely determined by where it sends the variables. Taking a quotient then introduces a suitable requirement that certain combinations of these values are 0.

    I remember you that the homomorphism of $mathbb{K}$-algebras send the units in the units; so the homomorphism from $mathbb{K}[x_1,dots,x_n]/mathfrak{a}$ to $mathbb{K}$ are all "onto". From all this, using the comment of @Youngsu, you have the statement; for exact, $V(mathfrak{a})$ is in bijection with the set $Hom_{mathbb{K}-alg}(mathbb{K}[x_1,dots,x_n]/mathfrak{a},mathbb{K})$.
