Cox ring

From HandWiki
Short description: Universal homogenous coordinate ring of a projective variety

In algebraic geometry, a Cox ring (or total coordinate ring) is a sort of universal homogeneous coordinate ring for a projective variety, and is (roughly speaking) a direct sum of the spaces of sections of all isomorphism classes of line bundles.

Cox rings were introduced by Hu and Keel in 2000,[1] based on an earlier construction by David A. Cox in 1995 for toric varieties.[2]
