The theory of algebraically closed fields of a fixed characteristic eliminates quantifiers in the language of rings. Over a parameter field , the complete type of a tuple is determined by the prime ideal of polynomial relations it satisfies.
Complete -types over a subfield of an algebraically closed field correspond to prime ideals of , or equivalently to generic points of irreducible affine varieties over . The Stone topology corresponds to the constructible topology: polynomial equalities and inequalities define basic clopen sets.
