Abstract

In the preprint arXiv:2511.07900 we proved that there exists a localizing ring AMA_M for AA an associative ring with unit, and M=i=1rMiM=\oplus_{i=1}^rM_i a direct sum of r1r\geq 1 simple right AA-modules. For a homomorphism of associative rings ABA\rightarrow B we define the contraction of a simple BB-module to A.A. Then we define the set of aprime right AA-modules aSpecA{\rm aSpec} A to be the set of simple AA-modules together with contractions of such. When AA is commutative, aSpecA=SpecA{\rm aSpec} A = {\rm Spec} A. and we define a topology on aSpecA{\rm aSpec} A such that when AA is commutative, this is the Zariski topology. In the preprint \cite{S251}, we proved that when we have a topology and a localizing subcategory, there exists a sheaf of associative rings OX\mathcal O_X on aSpecA,{\rm aSpec} A, agreeing with the usual sheaf of rings on SpecA.{\rm Spec} A. In this text, we write out this construction, and we see that we can restrict the sheaf and topology to any subset VaSpecV\subseteq{\rm aSpec}. In particular, this proves that we can use complex varieties in real algebraic geometry, by restricting in accordance with RC.\mathbb R\subseteq\mathbb C. Thus the theory of schemes over algebraically closed fields and its associative generalization can be applied to real (algebraic) geometry.
