In mathematics, the complex projective plane, usually denoted P2(C), is the two-dimensional complex projective space. It is a complex manifold described by three complex coordinates
where, however, the triples differing by an overall rescaling are identified:
That is, these are homogeneous coordinates in the traditional sense of projective geometry.
