A quotient space of complex projective space

Let $\mathbb{C}P^n$ be the $n$-dimensional complex projective space and denote $[z_0:\dots:z_n]$ its points. If we glue $[z_0:\dots:z_n]$ and $[\overline{z_0}:\dots:\overline{z_n}]$ for any $[z_0:\...

When is a constructible set locally closed?

Let $X$ be a topological space (or more specifically, $\mathbb{C}^N$ endowed with the Zariski topology), and let $S \subseteq X$ be a constructible set, i.e. $S=\cup_{i=1}^n C_i \cap U_i$, where the $...

Whitney stratification for proper morphisms

Let $f: X \to \Delta$ be a flat, projective morphism, smooth over the punctured disc $\Delta^*:=\Delta \backslash \{0\}$ and central fiber $f^{-1}(0)$ is a reduced, simple normal crossings divisor. ...

Collineations of projective spaces and isomorphisms of fields

For a (topological) field $F$ by $FP^2$ we denote the projective plane, i.e., the quotient space of $F^3\setminus\{0\}^3$ by the equivalence relation $\vec x\sim\vec y$ iff $\vec x=\lambda\vec y$ for ...
