 Solution

A projective variety is a Zariski-closed subset of projective space ${\mathbb{P}}_k^n$, equivalently the common zero set of homogeneous polynomials. Homogeneity makes their vanishing independent of the nonzero scalar used to represent a projective point.

A morphism is a map locally given by regular coordinate functions in affine charts. Equivalently, near each point of a projective source embedded in ${\mathbb{P}}^n$, a morphism to ${\mathbb{P}}^m$ can be writtenusing homogeneous polynomials of a common degree that are not all zero on that neighbourhood. The expressions must agree on overlaps, and for a specified target variety their values must lie in it. A single global tuple is a sufficient description when available, but is not part of the general definition.
