Rank-one sections of two hyperplane line bundles
ID: rank-one-sections-of-two-hyperplane-line-bundles
A section of on the complex projective line is a pair of homogeneous linear forms , . It vanishes at exactly one projective point precisely when its coefficient matrix has rank one, equivalently and the matrix is nonzero. Its kernel is then one line in . Equivalently, for a constant nonzero vector and one nonzero linear form . Rank two gives no zero, while rank zero gives the identically zero section.
