In algebraic geometry, a projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ is a subset of some projective $n$-space $\mathbb P^n$ over $k$ that is the zero-locus of some finite family of homogeneous polynomials of $n + 1$ variables with coefficients in $k$, that generate a prime ideal, the defining ideal of the variety

Rational normal curve as determinantal variety
We work here over complex numbers. Let $\Omega(Z)$
\begin{pmatrix}
L_1 & L_2 & ... & L_n \\
M_1 & M_2 & ... & M_n\\
\end{pmatrix}
be a $2 \times n$ matrix of homogeneous linear forms
$L_i(Z), M_j(Z) …

Chow's Lemma: Mumford's and Grothendieck's (?) definitions
David Mumford gives in his book Algebraic Geometry I, Complex Projective Varieties
on page 61 a definition of Chow's Lemma which has at least for me not a
usual form:
If says that a closed $^*$-analyt …

Proj construction and nilpotent homogenous elements in graded ring
Let $A= \bigoplus_{n \ge 0} A_n$ be a commutative Noetherian graded ring and $f \in A_d$ a nonzero homogeneous element of degree $d>0$. The natural ring map $q:A \to A/(f)$ induces a well defined map …
