Proving projective space is a topological manifold












1














I'm trying to prove that $mathbb{P}^n(mathbb{R})$ is a topological manifold of dimension n.



So I can define $f_i: U_i rightarrow mathbb{R}$ such that $f_i([x_0:x_1: dots : x_n])= (x_0, dots x_{i-1}, x_{i+1}, dots x_n)$ where $U_i={[x_0:dots : x_n] : x_i=1}$.
then I only need to prove this is an homeomorphism.
Open sets on $mathbb{P}^n(mathbb{R})$ are $pi(A)$ where $A$ is an open set of $mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.
For $f_0$:



Is open because if $A=A_0 times ... times A_n$
$f_0(pi(A))=f_0( .cup_{x_0in A_0} [1:frac{A_1}{x_0}: dots : frac{A_n}{x_0}]) = cup_{x_0 in A_0} frac{A_1}{x_0}times dots times frac{A_n}{x_0}$ which is open.



But I'm not sure how to see this is continuous. I would appreciate any help for doing this
Thanks

$U_i:={[x_0,dots , x_n] : x_ineq 0}$ is an open set of $mathbb{P}^n$ and you can define



$phi_i: U_ito mathbb{R}^n$ such that



$phi_i([x_0,dots , x_n] ):=(frac{x_0}{x_i},dots , frac{x_n}{x_i})$



That it is an omeomorphism but $cup_{i=0}^n U_i=mathbb{P}^n$ and for every $ineq j$



$phi_jcirc phi_i^{-1}(x_1,dots , x_n)= (frac{x_1}{x_j},dots ,frac{1}{x_j},dots , frac{x_n}{x_j}) $



and in $phi_i(U_icap U_j)={(x_1,dots , x_{n}) : x_jneq 0}$
Is infinitely differentiable



Your map is not well defined.. for example $f_0([1,1,dots , 0])=(1,0, dots ,0)$ but $[1,1,0,dots , 0]=[2,2,0 dots, 0]$so $f_0([2,2,0 dots, 0]=(2,0,dots, 0)$
