As usual for Complex projective space and Real projective space, homogeneous coordinates are represented by nonzero vectors. Componentwise complex conjugation descends to the diffeomorphismIt is well defined because , and . Every standard manifold chart is invariant under , with . Part (d) and the gluing of the Fubini-Study form therefore imply .
A point in the fixed-point set satisfies . Applying complex conjugation again gives . Choose with ; then , so has a real representative. Conversely every real representative determines a point in the fixed-point set. Hence , and part (c) gives
