Well, let k be an algebraically closed field; this is the routine assumption in algebraic geometry. Let A be its associated polynomial ring, on n indeterminates, on k, and let $\mathbb{A}^n_k$ be the corresponding Affine space. Now I want an example of a non-algebraic set in $\mathbb{A}_k^n$. To be sure I can find some examples when k is the complex field and n=1,2. But here I want an example that works for any field k (but algebraically closed of course) and arbitrary n. I'd be grateful if anyone can help me with this!
