Let be a homogeneous ideal over an algebraically closed field, and let
be the irrelevant ideal. Then exactly when either or . For a proper homogeneous ideal this is also equivalent to for some .
In the standard graded homogeneous coordinate ring of , the irrelevant ideal is
It vanishes only at the origin of the corresponding affine cone, which does not represent a projective point.
