Projective representations. I: Projective lines over rings

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We discuss representations of the projective line over a ring R with 1 in a projective space over some (not necessarily commutative) field K. Such a representation is based upon a (K,R)-bimodule U. The points of the projective line over R are represented by certain subspaces of the projective space P(K,UimesU) that are isomorphic to one of their complements. In particular, distant points go over to complementary subspaces, but in certain cases, also non-distant points may have complementary images.


Representations of the projective line \(PG(1,R)\) over a ring with unit in a projective space over a (not necessarily commutative) field \(K\) are discussed. It turns out that the points of the projective line over \(R\) are represented by certain subspaces of the projective space \(\mathbb{P}(K,U \times U)\) with \(U\) a \((K,R)\)-bimodule. Some interesting examples also have been worked out.
