For an affine variety X over k, the global sections Γ(X, O_X) form a reduced ring.

For an affine variety X over k, the structure map k → Γ(X, O_X) is of finite type.

Theorem 2.2 (Lec 2): the two equivalent characterizations of affine varieties — every affine variety X over k satisfies X ≅ Spec Γ(X) with reduced finitely-generated coordinate ring, and conversely Spec A for any such A is an affine variety.
