Summary
We consider n-tuples of m × m matrices as zeroes of non-commutative polynomials in n-variables and establish an analogue of the classical Hilbert-Nullstellensatz. We study then finitely generated non-commutative algebras over Jacobson rings and obtain results conpletely analogous with the commutative tehory.
