Zariski's finiteness theorem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In algebra, Zariski's finiteness theorem gives a positive answer to Hilbert's 14th problem for the polynomial ring in two variables, as a special case.[1] Precisely, it states:

Given a normal domain A, finitely generated as an algebra over a field k, if L is a subfield of the field of fractions of A containing k such that , then the k-subalgebra is finitely generated.
