- Source: Regular scheme
In algebraic geometry, a regular scheme is a locally Noetherian scheme whose local rings are regular everywhere. Every smooth scheme is regular, and every regular scheme of finite type over a perfect field is smooth.
For an example of a regular scheme that is not smooth, see Geometrically regular ring#Examples.
