projectiveSpace -- constructs projective space as a GKM variety

Synopsis

Description

Given an integer $n$ this method constructs the n-dimensional projective space, $\mathbb P^n$, as a GKM variety. The action of $(\mathbb C^*)^{n+1}$ on $\mathbb P^n$ is defined by $(t_0, \ldots, t_n) \cdot (x_0, \ldots, x_n) = (t_0^{-1}x_0, \ldots, t_n^{-1}x_n)$.
