Problem 1.9 (Complex projective space)
Complex projective n-space, denoted by , is the set of all 1-dimensional complex-linear subspaces of , with the quotient topology inherited from the natural projection . Show that is a compact -dimensional topological manifold, and show how to give it a smooth structure analogous to the one we constructed for . (We use the correspondence
to identify with .) (Used on pp. 48, 96, 172, 560, 561.)
