projective line
English
Noun
projective line (plural projective lines)
- (projective geometry) A line that includes a point at infinity; a line in a projective space; a projective space of dimension 1.

- In , the projective lines are defined by two projective points, that is, by two linearly independent directions of ; if we take one vector for each direction, the two vectors generate a plane through the origin in , that is, a subspace of dimension 2, and a projective line can be defined as follows:
- A projective line in , consists of the projective points defined by coplanar directions in .
- In other words, just as the points in correspond to one-dimensional subspaces in , the projective lines correspond to two-dimensional subspaces in .

- Consider the projective line , with homogeneous coordinates and and open sets and .

- The projective line is related to the Kronecker algebra, […] In general one has to deal with the so-called weighted case which leads to the study of the canonical algebras and to the weighted projective lines (as Ringel pointed out in his survey [93]).
