Abstract: We introduce and study coordinate-wise powers of subvarieties of $mathbb{P}^n$, i.e. varieties arising from raising all points in a given subvariety of $mathbb{P}^n$ to the $r$-th power, coordinate by coordinate. This corresponds to studying the image of a subvariety of $mathbb{P}^n$ under the quotient of $mathbb{P}^n$ by the action of the finite group $mathbb{Z}_r^{n+1}$. We determine the degree of coordinate-wise powers and study their defining equations, particularly for hypersurfaces and linear spaces. Applying these results, we compute the degree of the variety of orthostochastic matrices and determine iterated dual and reciprocal varieties of power sum hypersurfaces. We also establish a link between coordinate-wise squares of linear spaces and the study of real symmetric matrices with a degenerate eigenspectrum.
