    started a stub for projective space

    Added the first part of the proof that a \mathbb{Z}-grading on a commutative ring RR is the same as a 𝔾 m\mathbb{G}_m-action on SpecRSpec R. (All a bit rough for the time being.)

    added to projective space the remainder of the proof that 𝔾\mathbb{G}-actions on SpecRSpec R are equivalent to \mathbb{Z}-gradings of RR.

    (I guess I should move that elsewhere.)

    I have spelled out how real and projective space become topological manifolds and smooth manifolds, here.

    I have filled in full details in the proof of the CW-structure at complex projective space. Then I copied this over also to Projective space – Examples – Real and complex projective space, so that the discussion there is now a self-contained proof of the manifold structure on real/complex projective space.

    Among the list of elementary facts, the statement that S nP nS^n \to \mathbb{R}P^n is locally trivial had been missing. For completeness, have now included statement and proof here.

    I am trying to understand projective space in terms of a quotient of sheaves from Rings to Sets (for example, from the perspective taken in Toen’s master course on stacks). As a functor, X=𝔸 n+1{0}X = \mathbb{A}^{n + 1}_\mathbb{Z} - \{0\} maps each ring AA to the set X(A)={(a 0,,a n)A n+1|(a 0,,a n)X(A) = \{(a_0, \dots, a_n)\in A^{n+1}\,|\, (a_0, \dots, a_n) generate the unit ideal in A}A\}. The functor 𝔾 m\mathbb{G}_m maps each ring AA to its multiplicative group of units A ×A^\times. However, n(A)\mathbb{P}^n_\mathbb{Z} (A) is not simply X(A)/A ×X(A)/A^\times, unless we are in the special case that every finitely generated projective AA-module is free (for example, in a PID).

    Therefore, we must need to do some kind of “sheafification” on the presheaf quotient X/G mX/\G_m to get the correct functor n\mathbb{P}^n_\mathbb{Z}. How does this work?

    If you’re just interested in the final answer, the stacks project gives a description as 27.13.1. Restricting to your case, the change is that you shouldn’t normalize to generating the unit ideal – instead you merely require that a\vec{a} generates an invertible ideal, and you quotient by the equivalence relation of scaling by non-zero divisors. Described differently, n(A)\mathbb{P}^n(A) is the set of pairs (I,a)(I, \vec{a}) where II is an invertible ideal and a\vec{a} is an (n+1)(n+1)-tuple of elements of II that generate it, modulo equivalences of invertible ideals.

    Or was it a description of sheafification you were interested in?

    Thank you, your answer is totally sufficient. I was mostly looking for a clean ideal-theoretic interpretation of the sheaf-theoretic statement given in the stacks project 27.13.1.

    Now you have me worried. I’m 95% confident in the “invertible sheaves are the sheaves (isomorphic to) the sheaves associated to invertible ideals” for affine schemes, but maybe I’m assuming the ring to be nice, such as being a domain. A quick search to try and convince myself turns up 109.40 from Stacks project which shows they correspond to projective rank 1 modules, but I’m now paranoid that I need an assumption on the ring to say that means “invertible ideal”.
