Abstract

In this paper, we develop some foundations for a theory of algebraic varieties of congruences on commutative semirings. By studying the structure of congruences, firstly, we show that the spectrum Specc(A) \text{Spec}^{c}(A) consisting of prime congruences on a semirings A A has a Zariski topological structure; Then, for two semirings AB, A \subset B, we consider the polynomial semiring S=A[x1,,xn] S = A[x_{1}, \cdots , x_{n}] and the affine n n-space Bn. B^{n}. For any congruence σ \sigma on S S and congruence ρ \rho on B, B, we introduce the ρ \rho-algebraic varieties Zρ(σ)(B) Z_{\rho }(\sigma )(B) in Bn, B^{n}, which are the set of zeros in Bn B^{n} of the system of polynomial ρ \rho-congruence equations given by σ. \sigma . When ρ \rho is a prime congruence, we find these varieties satisfying the axiom of closed sets, and forming a (Zariski) topology on Bn. B^{n}. Some results about their structures including a version of Nullstellensatz of congruences are obtained.
