Over an algebraically closed field k, a reduced k-algebra is
geometrically reduced: tensoring with the algebraic closure preserves the
absence of nilpotents.
Nullstellensatz-style separating property: for a finitely generated
reduced k-algebra over an algebraically closed field, any nonzero element
is detected by some k-algebra homomorphism into k.
Commutation lemma: evaluating the B-basis representation of the image
of x ∈ A ⊗ B under φ ⊗ id matches applying φ to the A-coordinate from
the tensor-to-finsupp isomorphism.
Finite-type special case of Lemma 15, Lec 7: if A is a finite-type
reduced k-algebra (over an algebraically closed k) and B is any reduced
k-algebra, then A ⊗_k B is reduced.
Lemma 15, Lec 7: over an algebraically closed field k, the tensor
product A ⊗_k B of two reduced k-algebras has no nilpotents.
