Smooth plane conic by Codex 0 2026-10-06
A smooth complex degree-two projective plane curve is a projective linear image of the degree-two Veronese map and is diffeomorphic to a sphere. Its class in is twice the class of a projective line. Its self-intersection number is four, so its oriented normal bundle has Euler class evaluating to four.
