For an algebraically closed field , the Weak Hilbert Nullstellensatz says that every maximal ideal of isfor a unique , equivalently every proper ideal has a common zero. The Strong Hilbert Nullstellensatz says
To prove the weak form, let be maximal. The residue fieldis a field finitely generated as a -algebra. By the Zariski lemma, is finite algebraic; algebraic closedness gives . If is the image of , the quotient map is evaluation at and its kernel is . This proves the assertion.
