The standard grading on the polynomial ring k[x_0, ..., x_n] by total degree, where
polynomialGrading k n d is the k-submodule of homogeneous polynomials of degree d.
Instances For
The polynomial ring k[x_0, ..., x_n] is a graded ring under the total-degree
grading.
Projective n-space over a commutative ring k, defined as
ℙ^n_k := Proj k[x_0, ..., x_n] with the standard grading.
Instances For
The structure morphism ℙ^n_k → Spec k of projective n-space, induced by the
inclusion of the degree-zero piece into the graded polynomial ring.
Instances For
Projective n-space ℙ^n_k is a separated scheme.
A scheme X is a projective variety over k if it admits a closed immersion
into some projective space ℙ^n_k.
Instances For
A scheme X is a quasi-projective variety over k if it is an open subscheme of
a projective variety: there exists a closed immersion Y ↪ ℙ^n_k and an open immersion
X ↪ Y.
Instances For
Every projective variety is quasi-projective: take the open immersion to be the identity.
Projective space ℙ^n_k is itself a projective variety, via the identity closed
immersion.
Projective space ℙ^n_k is in particular quasi-projective.
A closed subscheme of a projective variety is again a projective variety: compose the
closed immersion X ↪ Y with a closed immersion Y ↪ ℙ^n_k.
An open subscheme of a quasi-projective variety is again quasi-projective: compose
the open immersion X ↪ Y with the existing open immersion of Y into a projective
variety.
