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.

Not to be confused with regular embedding.

For an example of a regular scheme that is not smooth, see Geometrically regular ring#Examples.
