Complex Projective Plane


The complex projective plane P^2 is the set of all equivalence classes [a,b,c] of ordered triples (a,b,c) in C^3\(0,0,0) under the equivalence relation (a,b,c)∼(a^',b^',c^') if (a,b,c)=(lambdaa^',lambdab^',lambdac^') for some nonzero complex number lambda.

Kühnel's nine-vertex triangulation has face vector (9,36,84,90,36) and contains every possible edge and triangle. It is a tight triangulation over every field (Kühnel and Lutz 2000).
