The affine chart of a projective coordinate domain, constructed from coordinate ratios in a field. Its filtered Hilbert function agrees exactly with the homogeneous Hilbert function before dehomogenization.
A homogeneous polynomial of degree d satisfies f(a • v) = a ^ d * f(v) for evaluations in
any field F that is a K-algebra.
Given a K-algebra map q from the coordinate ring of I to a field F, the
K-algebra map from polynomials in the affine coordinates to F sending Xⱼ to the ratio
q Xⱼ₊₁ / q X₀.

Instances For
When q X₀ ≠ 0, the coordinate-ratio map sends the dehomogenization of a homogeneous
polynomial f of degree M to (q X₀)⁻¹ ^ M * q f.
Let q embed the coordinate ring of I into a field with q X₀ ≠ 0. In every degree M,
the filtered Hilbert function of the kernel of the coordinate-ratio map
projectiveChartCoordinateMap I q equals the homogeneous Hilbert function of I.
Let q embed the coordinate ring of I into a field with q X₀ ≠ 0. If I defines a
projective curve of degree d, then the kernel of the coordinate-ratio map
projectiveChartCoordinateMap I q defines an affine curve of degree d.
