Spec$(\mathbb{Z})$ not a complete variety?

228 Views Asked by At

What does this question mean precisely? In the wiki entry of Arakelov theory it is mentioned that Spec$(\mathbb{Z})$ is "not a complete variety" --- What does this mean? What does it mean for a scheme to be complete?

Any reference or comment would be great.

Thanks
