 Finite type invariant

In the context of mathematics, particularly in topology and algebraic geometry, the term "finite type invariant" can refer to certain properties or characteristics associated with topological spaces or algebraic varieties. ### Finite Type Invariant in Algebraic Geometry In algebraic geometry, an invariant of a variety (or a scheme) is said to be of finite type if it can be described in a way that relates to a finite subset of some underlying structure.
