Another way to proceed is to prove that the function field is purely transcendental. Now the coordinate ring is 3. Rational Varieties Definition 3.1. A rational function is a rational map to A 1. The set of all rational functions, denoted K(X), is called the function field. Lemma 3.2. Let X be an irreducible variety.
