Zariski lemma says that a field which is a finitely generated algebra over a field is a finite algebraic extension of . The Strong Hilbert Nullstellensatz says that, for an ideal over an algebraically closed field,
Let the unique point of be and let
The Nullstellensatz gives , so . Each of the finitely many generators of has some power . If
then every monomial of total degree in the is divisible by one of the . Hence
Thus the assertion is true; algebraically, the quotient defines a punctual scheme supported at .
