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

existence of birational morphism and divisors

I don't know where to find a proof written, but it is not hard to give one here. One direction is easy. If $S \rightarrow \mathbf P^2$ is a birational morphism, then let $D$ be the pullback of a hyper …

How many holes may a projection of an algebraic variety have?

Blow up to get a morphism $\Pi: Bl_{P_0}\mathbf P^n \rightarrow \mathbf P^{n-1}$. Let $\widetilde{V}$ be the proper transform of $V$ in $Bl_{P_0}\mathbf P^n$. Then $\overline{\pi(V)}=\Pi(\widetilde{V} …

Degree of a variety vs degree of its blow-up

First, the ample divisors on $\mathbf P^n \times \mathbf P^{n-1}$ are of the form $aH_1+bH_2$ for $a,b>0$, which means that every ample divisor is of the form $H_1+H_2+N$ for some nef divisor $N$. Thi …
