Proper integral curves over a field #
A curve over a field is an integral scheme that is proper and one-dimensional over that field. Its function field is therefore an algebraic function field of one variable. The two-chart model of any algebraic function field provides a regular proper curve with that function field. A rational point of a curve is a point of codimension one, that is, the generic point of a prime divisor.
A curve over a field is an integral, proper scheme of dimension one over that field.

The curve has dimension one.
Instances
The function field of a curve over k is an algebraic function field of one variable.
Every point of a curve has coheight at most one.
A curve over a field is a Noetherian scheme.
The structure morphism of a curve satisfies the existence part of the valuative criterion.
The local rings of a regular proper curve are valuation rings: for a curve X over k
whose codimension-one local rings are discrete valuation rings, the local ring at the generic point
is the function field, and every other point has codimension one.
A rational point of a curve has codimension one. The image of a section of the structure
morphism of a curve over k is a closed point; it is not the generic point, since the curve has
dimension one, so it has coheight one.
