algebraic manifold (Definition)
Definition 1   Let $k$ be a field and let $M \subset k^n$ be a submanifold. $M$ is said to be an algebraic manifold (or $k$ algebraic) if there exists an irreducible algebraic variety $V \subset k^n$ such that $\dim V = \dim M$ and $M \subset V$ If $k = \mathbb{R}$ then $M$ is called a Nash manifold.

It can be proved that such a manifold is defined as the zero set of a finite collection of analytic algebraic functions.
