# MultiprojectiveVariety ** Ring -- change the coefficient ring of a multi-projective variety

## Synopsis

• Operator: **
• Usage:
X ** K
• Inputs:
• X, , defined over a coefficient ring F
• K, a ring, the new coefficient ring (which must be a field)
• Outputs:
• , a multi-projective variety defined over K, obtained by coercing the coefficients of the multi-forms defining X into K

## Description

It is necessary that all multi-forms in the old coefficient ring F can be automatically coerced into the new coefficient ring K.
