The recent progress of modern algebra in analysing, from the algebraic standpoint, the foundations of algebraic geometry, has been marked by the rapid development of what may be called ‘analytic algebra’. By this we mean the topological theories of Noetherian rings that arise when one uses ideals to define neighbourhoods; this includes, for instance, the theory of power-series rings and of local rings. In the present paper some applications are made of this kind of algebra to some problems connected with the notion of a branch of a variety at a point.

The concept of regular sequence of elements of a ring A (first introduced by Serre under the name of A-sequence [2]), has far-reaching uses in the theory of local rings and in algebraic geometry. It seems, however, that it loses much of its importance when A is not a noetherian ring, and in that case, it probably should be superseded by the concept of quasi-regular sequence [1].

AbstractWe show that the ring of complex-valued regular functions on an affine irreducible nonsingular real algebraic variety X is factorial if dim X = 1 or dim X = 2 and X has no compact connected components or X is compact and the second cohomology group of X with integral coefficients vanishes.
