  2. Projective module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_module

    If M does not admit a finite projective resolution, then by convention the projective dimension is said to be infinite. As an example, consider a module M such that pd( M ) = 0 . In this situation, the exactness of the sequence 0 → P 0 → M → 0 indicates that the arrow in the center is an isomorphism, and hence M itself is projective.

  3. Projective geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_geometry

    The only projective geometry of dimension 0 is a single point. A projective geometry of dimension 1 consists of a single line containing at least 3 points. The geometric construction of arithmetic operations cannot be performed in either of these cases. For dimension 2, there is a rich structure in virtue of the absence of Desargues' Theorem.

  4. Projective plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_plane

    The field planes are usually denoted by PG(2, q) where PG stands for projective geometry, the "2" is the dimension and q is called the order of the plane (it is one less than the number of points on any line). The Fano plane, discussed below, is denoted by PG(2, 2). The third example above is the projective plane PG(2, 3). The Fano plane.

  5. Resolution (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(algebra)

    The minimal length of a finite projective resolution of a module M is called its projective dimension and denoted pd(M). For example, a module has projective dimension zero if and only if it is a projective module. If M does not admit a finite projective resolution then the projective dimension is infinite. For example, for a commutative local ...

  6. Projective space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_space

    If n is one or two, a projective space of dimension n is called a projective line or a projective plane, respectively. The complex projective line is also called the Riemann sphere. All these definitions extend naturally to the case where K is a division ring; see, for example, Quaternionic projective space.

  7. Real projective space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_projective_space

    In mathematics, real projective space, denoted ⁠ ⁠ or ⁠ (), ⁠ is the topological space of lines passing through the origin 0 in the real space ⁠ +. ⁠ It is a compact , smooth manifold of dimension n , and is a special case ⁠ G r ( 1 , R n + 1 ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {Gr} (1,\mathbb {R} ^{n+1})} ⁠ of a Grassmannian space.

  8. Real projective plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_projective_plane

    Projective geometry is not necessarily concerned with curvature and the real projective plane may be twisted up and placed in the Euclidean plane or 3-space in many different ways. [1] Some of the more important examples are described below. The projective plane cannot be embedded (that is without intersection) in three-dimensional Euclidean space.

  9. Hilbert scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_scheme

    In algebraic geometry, a branch of mathematics, a Hilbert scheme is a scheme that is the parameter space for the closed subschemes of some projective space (or a more general projective scheme), refining the Chow variety. The Hilbert scheme is a disjoint union of projective subschemes corresponding to Hilbert polynomials.
