Type space of an algebraically closed field over a subfield (source code)

= Type space of an algebraically closed field over a subfield
{title2=$S_n(F)$}

Complete $n$-types over a subfield $F$ of an algebraically closed field correspond to prime ideals of $F[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$, or equivalently to generic points of irreducible affine varieties over $F$. The Stone topology corresponds to the constructible topology: polynomial equalities and inequalities define basic clopen sets.
