Henselian Rings in Algebraic Geometry
Henselian rings are the local rings of "points" with respect to the Nisnevich topology, so the spectra of these rings do not admit non-trivial connected coverings with respect to the Nisnevich topology. Likewise strict Henselian rings are the local rings of geometric points of the étale topology.

Famous quotes containing the words rings, algebraic and/or geometry:
“If a man do not erect in this age his own tomb ere he dies, he shall live no longer in monument than the bell rings and the widow weeps.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am present at the sowing of the seed of the world. With a geometry of sunbeams, the soul lays the foundations of nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
