What are some prerequisites (within the field of Algebra) in order to understand "formal fibers"? I know that I should understand basic ring theory and polynomial rings, but what else?

0Sure. I'm considering an undergraduate research project that investigates on formal fibers (the projects says that there are many open questions in the field). I have learned group theory and a bit of ring theory, and I wonder if I might need more knowledge in algebra to prepare for it. – 2017-01-28
