Projective $n$ space over a ring.¶

EXAMPLES: We construct projective space over various rings of various dimensions.

The simplest projective space:

sage: ProjectiveSpace(0)
Projective Space of dimension 0 over Integer Ring

A slightly bigger projective space over $\QQ$ :

sage: X = ProjectiveSpace(1000, QQ); X
Projective Space of dimension 1000 over Rational Field
sage: X.dimension()
1000

We can use “over” notation to create projective spaces over various base rings.

sage: X = ProjectiveSpace(5)/QQ; X
Projective Space of dimension 5 over Rational Field
sage: X/CC
Projective Space of dimension 5 over Complex Field with 53 bits of precision

The third argument specifies the printing names of the generators of the homogenous coordinate ring. Using objgens() you can obtain both the space and the generators as ready to use variables.

sage: P2, (x,y,z) = ProjectiveSpace(2, QQ, 'xyz').objgens()
sage: P2
Projective Space of dimension 2 over Rational Field
sage: x.parent()
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y, z over Rational Field

For example, we use $x,y,z$ to define the intersection of two lines.

sage: V = P2.subscheme([x+y+z, x+y-z]); V
Closed subscheme of Projective Space of dimension 2 over Rational Field defined by:
 x + y + z,
 x + y - z
sage: V.dimension()
0

sage.schemes.generic.projective_space.ProjectiveSpace(n, R=None, names='x')¶

Return projective space of dimension $n$ over the ring $R$ .

EXAMPLES: The dimension and ring can be given in either order.

sage: ProjectiveSpace(3, QQ)
Projective Space of dimension 3 over Rational Field
sage: ProjectiveSpace(5, QQ)
Projective Space of dimension 5 over Rational Field
sage: P = ProjectiveSpace(2, QQ, names='XYZ'); P
Projective Space of dimension 2 over Rational Field
sage: P.coordinate_ring()
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in X, Y, Z over Rational Field

The divide operator does base extension.

sage: ProjectiveSpace(5)/GF(17)
Projective Space of dimension 5 over Finite Field of size 17

The default base ring is $\ZZ$ .

sage: ProjectiveSpace(5)
Projective Space of dimension 5 over Integer Ring

There is also an projective space associated each polynomial ring.

sage: R = GF(7)['x,y,z']
sage: P = ProjectiveSpace(R); P
Projective Space of dimension 2 over Finite Field of size 7
sage: P.coordinate_ring()
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in x, y, z over Finite Field of size 7
sage: P.coordinate_ring() is R
True

Projective spaces are not cached, i.e., there can be several with the same base ring and dimension (to facilitate gluing constructions).

[(-2 : -2 : 1), (-1 : -2 : 1), (0 : -2 : 1), (1 : -2 : 1), (2 : -2 : 1),

0), (1 : 1 : 0), (2 : 1 : 0), (-1/2 : 1 : 0), (1/2 : 1 : 0), (1 : 0 :
0)]

Note

The very simple algorithm works as follows: every point $(x_0:\cdots:x_n)$ in projective space has a unique largest index $i$ for which $x_i$ is not zero. The algorithm then iterates downward on this index. We normalize by choosing $x_i$ positive. Then, the points $x_0,\ldots,x_{i-1}$ are the points of affine $i$ -space that are relatively prime to $x_i$ . We access these by using the Tuples method.
