Weighted projective space

In algebraic geometry, a weighted projective space P(a0,...,an) is the projective variety Proj(k[x0,...,xn]) associated to the graded ring k[x0,...,xn] where the variable xk has degree ak.

Properties
  • If d is a positive integer then P(a0,a1,...,an) is isomorphic to P(a0,da1,...,dan) (with no factor of d in front of a0), so one can without loss of generality assume that any set of n variables a have no common factor greater than 1. In this case the weighted projective space is called well-formed.
  • The only singularities of weighted projective space are cyclic quotient singularities.
  • A weighted projective space is a Q-Fano variety[1] and a toric variety.
  • The weighted projective space P(a0,a1,...,an) is isomorphic to the quotient of projective space by the group that is the product of the groups of roots of unity of orders a0,a1,...,an acting diagonally.
gollark: I'm aware that you can remove the role by just removing the bot, but it was irritating and I wanted to know if there was a better way.
gollark: I'll alert the bot addition team.
gollark: Hmm, this *does* appear to have a different set of bots to the other bot lists, great.
gollark: Interesting!
gollark: They seem to have a captcha when adding bots. I assumed you wouldn't be able to automate it. Also, it's quite hard to *find* that many bots.
