I am studying properties of schemes and I have the following problem.
Let $R$ be a ring, $S=Spec(R)$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$ an integer. Show that the following are equivalent:
- $S$ is reduced (resp irreducible, resp integral)
- $\mathbb{A}^n_R$ is reduced (resp irreducible, resp integral)
- $\mathbb{P}^n_R$ is reduced (resp irreducible, resp integral)
I know that a scheme $S=Spec(R)$ is reduced if and only if nil$(R)=0$; it is irreducible if and only if nil$(R)$ is prime; and it is integral if and only if it is both reduced and irreducible.
If someone can help me, it would be very appreciated.
