        3) Geometric interpretation of the localization.
        Let V be an irreducible algebraic variety. Then P = J(V) is a prime ideal of $\mathbb {C} [X_{1},...,X_{n}]$ and so $\mathbb {C} [V]=\mathbb {C} [X_{1},...,X_{n}]/J(V)$ is an integral domain.
        The localization $\mathbb {C} [X_{1},...,X_{n}]_{P}$ is a subring of $\mathbb {C} (X_{1},...,X_{n})$ consisting of rational functions $\{f/g:f,g\in \mathbb {C} [X_{1},...,X_{n}],g\notin P\}$ which are defined on a nonempty subset of V. If V = {x} is a point, then P is maximal and $\mathbb {C} [X_{1},...,X_{n}]_{P}=\{f/g:f,g\in \mathbb {C} [X_{1},...,X_{n}],g(x)\neq 0\}$ consists of rational functions which are defined at x.
