The projective closure ideal of an affine coordinate ideal. The homogenizing parameter is a polynomial variable over the affine quotient, so primeness and homogeneous components are proved directly.
Send the homogenizing coordinate to t and every affine coordinate to its quotient class times t.

Instances For
The coefficient of t ^ M in projectiveClosureMap I f is the class modulo I of the
dehomogenization of the degree-M homogeneous component of f.
The projective closure of the affine coordinate ideal I: the homogeneous ideal of
polynomials in n + 1 variables all of whose homogeneous components dehomogenize (by setting
X 0 = 1) into I, defined as the kernel of projectiveClosureMap I.
Equations
Instances For
A polynomial lies in the projective closure ideal of I if and only if the dehomogenization
of each of its homogeneous components lies in I.
A homogeneous polynomial lies in the projective closure ideal of I if and only if its
dehomogenization lies in I.
The projective closure ideal is homogeneous: every homogeneous component of a member is a member.
Closure commutes with arbitrary coefficient-field extension.
If the extension of I to a field extension L of K is prime, then so is the extension of
the projective closure ideal of I to L.
