Theorem 2.2 (first half): For an affine algebraic variety X over k, the canonical map X → Spec Γ(X, ⊤) is an isomorphism.

Theorem 2.2 (second half): For an affine algebraic variety, the global section ring Γ(X, ⊤) is reduced.

Theorem 2.2 (third half): For an affine algebraic variety, the global section ring Γ(X, ⊤) is a finitely generated k-algebra.

Theorem 2.2 (full equivalence): Affine algebraic varieties over k correspond exactly to spectra Spec A of finitely generated reduced k-algebras A.
