- Function field (scheme theory)Function field (scheme theory)In algebraic geometry, the function field KX of a scheme Xis a generalization of the notion of a sheaf of rational functions on a variety. In the case of varieties, such a sheaf associates to each open set U the ring of all rational functions on that open set; in other words, KX is the set of...
