Can you please give me an example of a polynomial $F \in K[X,Y]$ such that $V(F)$ is finite?
I found in Fulton the following proposition:
If F is an irreducible polynomial in $K[X,Y]$ such that $V(F)$ is infinite, then $I(V(F))=(F)$, and $V(F)$ is irreducible.
Is the condition $V(F)$ is infinite necessarily?
Thank you!
Take $K = \mathbb{R}$ and $F(X,Y) = X^2 + Y^2$.
