Curve contains Regular Points

58 Views Asked by At

Let $C$ be a curve over arbitrary field $k$. Clear is that every point of $C$ is closed or generic.

My question is why is the set of regular points of $C$ always non empty?

Remark: A point $a$ of is regular if and only if $dim(\mathcal{O}_{C,a}) = dim_{\kappa(a)}m_a / m_a^2$
