Let $X$ be a (smooth) projective variety (over $\mathbb{C}$), and $\mathcal{L}$ an ample line bundle on $X$. I have heard that then

$$ X \cong \mathrm{Proj} \left( \bigoplus_{k \ge 0} H^0(X,\mathcal{L}^{\otimes k}) \right)$$

but I am not sure how to prove this or if this is even an equivalent definition of ampleness. Can anybody provide an explanation or a reference?

    $\begingroup$ Proposition 28.26.13 in the Stacks project — note that since $X$ is projective, the open immersion $X\rightarrow \operatorname{Proj}(S) $ is in fact an isomorphism. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @abx that is tag 01Q3. The numbers are not stable; see also the tags explained page. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 19, 2019 at 16:36
