Caution

In this section, without explicitly stated, all dimensions are in the complex field.

A complex projective space is a space that is the set of all lines through the origin in a complex vector space.

Described by that nature, there exists a natural definition of the complex projective space given as follows:


\mathbb{C}P^n=\frac{\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\setminus\{0\}}{\sim}
