	Projective space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Projective spaces are essential to algebraic geometry through the rich field of projective geometry developed in the nineteenth century, but also in the constructions of the modern theory (based on graded algebras).
		Projective spaces and their generalisation to flag manifolds also play a big part in topology, the theory of Lie groups and algebraic groups, and their representation theory.
		The use of projective spaces makes quite rigorous the talk about a 'line at infinity' (where parallel lines meet), or a 'plane at infinity' for three dimensions: a translation of the latter can be made as part of the projective space associated to a four-dimensional real vector space.

		This space is the colimit of the block structure spaces of the block structure spaces of finite-dimensional real projective spaces.
		In his thesis he proves that the functor F which to a vector space V assigns the block structure space of RP(V) is a linear functor in the sense of orthogonal calculus.
		This has the consequence that the block structure space of infinite-dimensional real projective space can be described via the Taylor tower of F using the first derivative functor of F. Tools used in the proof are mainly surgery theory and Poincare embeddings.

		In this project, we ask these enumerative questions in real affine space; in real space, the answers may no longer be precise.
		Interestingly, through Mathematica calculations, the expected number of real inflection points for a quartic and quintic is a little less than twice that of the expected number of real roots for an mth degree polynomial where m is the degree of the resultant of the Hessian curve with the original quartic or quintic polynomial curve.
		The goal of invariant theory is to describe the algebra of invariants for a vector space under a given group action.

		Physically, minimal projections correspond to "pure states" - states of affairs in which the answer to some maximally informative question is "yes", like `is the z component of the angular momentum of this spin-1/2 particle equal to 1/2?' Geometrically, the space of minimal projections is just the space of "lines" in our Hilbert space.

		Equip this real projective space with a spin structure.
		Indeed, considering a real subholomorphic line bundle of maximal degree in the normal bundle of the curves, one first defines a framing on these knots.
		Now the algebraic number of real curves, counted with respect to their spinor orientation, turns out to be independent of the choice of the configuration of points and this is my invariant.

		The aim of the project is to investigate various aspects of chain geometry, in particular the (generalized) chain geometries arising from the projective line P(R) over a ring R containing a field F which is not necessarily commutative.
		A projective model is given by a hyperbolic linear congruence of lines in a projective 3-space over F, i.e., the set of all lines that meet two skew axes.
		The projective line over this ring is represented by lines of a special linear complex, i.e., the set of all lines in a 3-dimensional projective space that meet a fixed axis; only this axis represents no point of the projective line over the ternions.

		Anyhow, what that means is that you know pretty much everything there is to know about line bundles, once you get a good mental picture of the canonical line bundles over real projective spaces.
