An <a href="Affine_variety" title="Affine variety">affine variety</a> <i>X</i> (understood to be irreducible) is normal if and only if the ring <i>O</i>(<i>X</i>) of <a href="Regular_function" class="mw-redirect" title="Regular function">regular functions</a> on <i>X</i> is an integrally closed domain. A variety <i>X</i> over a field is normal if and only if every <a href="Finite_morphism" title="Finite morphism">finite</a> <a href="Birational_geometry" title="Birational geometry">birational morphism</a> from any variety <i>Y</i> to <i>X</i> is an <a href="Isomorphism" title="Isomorphism">isomorphism</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geometric_and_algebraic_interpretations_of_normality">Geometric and algebraic interpretations of normality</h2></div>
<p>A morphism of varieties is finite if the inverse image of every point is finite and the morphism is <a href="Proper_morphism" title="Proper morphism">proper</a>. A morphism of varieties
is birational if it restricts to an isomorphism between dense open subsets. So, for example, the cuspidal cubic curve <i>X</i> in the affine plane <i>A</i><sup>2</sup> defined by <i>x</i><sup>2</sup> = <i>y</i><sup>3</sup> is not normal, because there is a finite birational morphism <i>A</i><sup>1</sup> → <i>X</i>
(namely, <i>t</i> maps to (<i>t</i><sup>3</sup>, <i>t</i><sup>2</sup>)) which is not an isomorphism. By contrast, the affine line <i>A</i><sup>1</sup> is normal: it cannot be simplified any further by finite birational morphisms.
</p><p>A normal complex variety <i>X</i> has the property, when viewed as a <a href="Topologically_stratified_space" class="mw-redirect" title="Topologically stratified space">stratified space</a> using the classical topology, that every link is connected. Equivalently, every complex point <i>x</i> has arbitrarily small neighborhoods <i>U</i> such that <i>U</i> minus
the singular set of <i>X</i> is connected. For example, it follows that the nodal cubic curve <i>X</i> in the figure, defined by <i>y</i><sup>2</sup> = <i>x</i><sup>2</sup>(<i>x</i> + 1), is not normal. This also follows from the definition of normality, since there is a finite birational morphism from <i>A</i><sup>1</sup> to <i>X</i> which is not an isomorphism; it sends two points of <i>A</i><sup>1</sup> to the same point in <i>X</i>.
</p>

<p>More generally, a <a href="Scheme_(mathematics)" title="Scheme (mathematics)">scheme</a> <i>X</i> is <b>normal</b> if each of its <a href="Local_ring" title="Local ring">local rings</a>
</p>
<dl><dd><i>O</i><sub><i>X,x</i></sub></dd></dl>
<p>is an <a href="Integrally_closed_domain" title="Integrally closed domain">integrally closed domain</a>. That is, each of these rings is an <a href="Integral_domain" title="Integral domain">integral domain</a> <i>R</i>, and every ring <i>S</i> with <i>R</i> ⊆ <i>S</i> ⊆ Frac(<i>R</i>) such that <i>S</i> is finitely generated as an <i>R</i>-module is equal to <i>R</i>. (Here Frac(<i>R</i>) denotes the <a href="Field_of_fractions" title="Field of fractions">field of fractions</a> of <i>R</i>.) This is a direct translation, in terms of local rings, of the geometric condition that every finite birational morphism to <i>X</i> is an isomorphism.
</p><p>An older notion is that a subvariety <i>X</i> of projective space is <a href="Linearly_normal" class="mw-redirect" title="Linearly normal">linearly normal</a> if the linear system giving the embedding is complete. Equivalently, <i>X</i> ⊆ <b>P</b><sup>n</sup> is not the linear projection of an embedding <i>X</i> ⊆ <b>P</b><sup>n+1</sup> (unless <i>X</i> is contained
in a hyperplane <b>P</b><sup>n</sup>). This is the meaning of "normal" in the phrases <a href="Rational_normal_curve" title="Rational normal curve">rational normal curve</a> and <a href="Rational_normal_scroll" title="Rational normal scroll">rational normal scroll</a>.
</p><p>Every <a href="Glossary_of_scheme_theory" class="mw-redirect" title="Glossary of scheme theory">regular scheme</a> is normal. Conversely, <a href="#CITEREFZariski1939">Zariski (1939</a>, theorem 11) showed that every normal variety is regular outside a subset of codimension at least 2, and a similar result is true for schemes.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> So, for example, every normal <a href="Algebraic_curve" title="Algebraic curve">curve</a> is regular.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_normalization">The normalization</h2></div>
<p>Any <a href="Reduced_scheme" class="mw-redirect" title="Reduced scheme">reduced scheme</a> <i>X</i> has a unique <b>normalization</b>: a normal scheme <i>Y</i> with an integral birational morphism <i>Y</i> → <i>X</i>. (For <i>X</i> a variety over a field, the morphism <i>Y</i> → <i>X</i> is finite, which is stronger than "integral".<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) The normalization of a scheme of dimension 1 is regular, and the normalization of a scheme of dimension 2 has only isolated singularities. Normalization is not usually used for <a href="Resolution_of_singularities" title="Resolution of singularities">resolution of singularities</a> for schemes of higher dimension.
</p><p>To define the normalization, first suppose that <i>X</i> is an <a href="Glossary_of_scheme_theory" class="mw-redirect" title="Glossary of scheme theory">irreducible</a> reduced scheme <i>X</i>. Every affine open subset of <i>X</i> has the form Spec <i>R</i> with <i>R</i> an <a href="Integral_domain" title="Integral domain">integral domain</a>. Write <i>X</i> as a union of affine open subsets Spec <i>A</i><sub>i</sub>. Let <i>B</i><sub>i</sub> be the <a href="Integral_closure" class="mw-redirect" title="Integral closure">integral closure</a> of <i>A</i><sub>i</sub> in its fraction field. Then the normalization of <i>X</i> is defined by gluing together the affine schemes
Spec <i>B</i><sub>i</sub>.
</p><p>If the initial scheme is not irreducible, the normalization is defined to be the disjoint union of the normalizations of the irreducible components.
