MHB 'Curly' Z and I - Affine algebraic sets

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the notation used in Dummit and Foote's work on affine algebraic sets, specifically the symbols for the subset Z(S) of affine space and the unique largest ideal associated with an algebraic set V. The symbols are represented as "curly" Z and "curly" I, respectively. The user seeks assistance in using LaTeX to produce these symbols correctly. Additional resources for identifying LaTeX characters are mentioned, along with gratitude expressed to contributors who provide help.

I am reading Dummit and Foote on affine algebraic sets and wish to create posts referring to such objects.

The notation for a subset Z(S) of affine space is a "curly" Z - see attachment - bottom of page 658.

Also the notion for the unique largest ideal whose locus determines a particular algebraic set V is a 'curly' I - see attachment, third paragraph on page 660.

Can someone please help me to use Latex to produce these symbols.

Peter
