A variety is a topological space that is Noetherian (every descending chain of closed subsets stabilizes).
Instances For
A complete variety: a variety $X$ such that the second projection $X \times Y \to Y$ is a closed map for every variety $Y$ (the topological analog of properness).

Compatibility: a complete variety in our topological sense gives a proper morphism to $\mathrm{Spec}(K)$ in the scheme-theoretic sense.
A complete variety is in particular a Noetherian topological space.
Any compact Noetherian space is a complete variety, since the projection $X \times Y \to Y$ from a compact space is automatically closed.
(Lemma 16.12) If $X$ is a complete variety and $\varphi : X \to Y$ is a continuous map with closed graph, then $\varphi$ is a closed map and its image is a complete variety.
A closed subset of a complete variety is itself a complete variety.
A complete affine integral variety over a field $K$ is a single point: if $X$ is affine, integral, and $X \to \mathrm{Spec}(K)$ is proper, then $X$ is a subsingleton.
