Ahmedjama: Hilbert's Null-Stellensatz, Strong

The document outlines Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, beginning with the weak version and theorem. It then presents the strong version, which is the main focus. The proof of the strong version uses a trick introduced by Rabinowitch to reduce it to the weak version. Key definitions are also provided, including vanishing locus, vanishing ideal, and radical of an ideal. The proof proceeds in two steps: first showing the vanishing locus of the related ideal J is empty, then applying the weak Nullstellensatz to conclude 1 is in J.
