| Aug 30, 2016 at 2:32 | comment | added | Matt Samuel | Then I would tag it algebraic-geometry first and foremost, then you can add projective-space or projective-geometry. I'm not enough of an expert to know whether or not anybody you want to see your question would even be looking for the projective-geometry tag, but it technically applies. There's a Wikipedia article on it. | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 2:23 | comment | added | Chill2Macht | @MattSamuel I guess probably projective varieties in algebraic geometry, although I have only gotten to homogeneous cubic polynomials defined on those spaces (I also asked some questions about the topology of those spaces too) | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 2:13 | comment | added | Matt Samuel | It's not a dumb question. From your notation it sounds like you should use projective-space. What broader subject does it belong to? | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 2:09 | comment | added | Chill2Macht | @MattSamuel Oh ok oops. So if I have a question about $\mathbb{CP}^1$ or $\mathbb{CP}^2$, should I use (projective-geometry) or (projective-spaces)? Sorry for the dumb question. | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 1:12 | comment | added | Matt Samuel | That's the thing, universal algebra is not more general than group theory, but it sounds like it is. They're simply different topics. | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 0:56 | comment | added | Chill2Macht | @MattSamuel OK, so to make sure I don't use them incorrectly again in the future, which of the two is the more general tag? Keep in mind that most of my questions stem from a very introductory algebraic geometry book. | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 0:54 | comment | added | Matt Samuel | They definitely should not be synonyms. In a sense it's like making group-theory a synonym of universal-algebra. | |
