"Definabilization"

Given an affine variety, scheme, or algebraic space defined over the complex numbers one may construct an associated definable analytic space in a functorial manner. With this definabilization functor in hand it becomes possible to compare categories of algebraic coherent sheaves and definable coherent sheaves. We will explain the constructions above and discuss why it is interesting from a geometric perspective.
