The Vanishing Ideal<br />

Let R := K[[x 1 , ...,x n ]] be the ring <strong>of</strong> convergent power series. Let<br />

V ⊆ U ⊆ K n be a singularity. Then Ideal(V ) is defined as the ideal <strong>of</strong> all<br />

f ∈ R that vanish at all points in V . It does not depend on the choice <strong>of</strong><br />

the representative.<br />

Any ideal <strong>of</strong> R is finitely generated. Vanishing ideals are radical. The<br />

converse holds for the case K = C, but not for the case K = R.<br />
