(Lemma 16.32) Given a valuation subring $R \subseteq F$ and finitely many nonzero $x_0, \dots, x_n \in F$, there exists $\lambda \in F^\times$ such that $\lambda x_i \in R$ for all $i$ and some $\lambda x_i$ is a unit in $R$ (this normalises projective coordinates with respect to a valuation).
A projective variety structure on $V$: a choice of dimension $n$ and homogeneous coordinates $X_0, \dots, X_n \in K(Z)^\times$ (none vanishing) on every subvariety $Z$ of $V$.

Instances For
If all ratios $X_i / X_j$ lie in the valuation ring, then the valuation is dominated by the local ring of some point of the affine chart $\{X_j \neq 0\}$.
If some scaling $\lambda X_i$ of the homogeneous coordinates lies in $R$ with some $\lambda X_j$ a unit, then $R$ is dominated by a point of $Z$.
A projective variety satisfies the valuation criterion of properness.
Projective varieties are complete: over an algebraically closed field, every projective variety satisfies the topological completeness condition.
(Theorem 16.33) The structure morphism $\mathrm{Proj}\,\mathcal{A} \to \mathrm{Spec}\,\mathcal{A}_0$ from a finitely generated $\mathbb{N}$-graded ring is proper.
