-ideal of a blueprint
A multiplicative ideal of a blueprint that is closed under subtraction encoded by additive relations.
Definition
Let be a blueprint. A -ideal of is a subset such that:
- ;
- ;
- whenever an additive relation holds in , with every , then .
The third axiom is the subtractive condition. For a blueprint induced by a semiring, it specializes to the usual condition that implies .
A proper -ideal is prime if its complement is multiplicatively closed. These prime -ideals are the points of the prime spectrum of a blueprint.
