Prove that a map is open in the Zariski topology












1












$begingroup$


Say $k$ is an algebraically closed field and define the equivalence relation on $k^{n+1}$ given by $x sim y iff x=lambda y $ for some $lambda in mathbb{k}^{times}$. Clearly $mathbb{P}^{n} = k^{n+1}/sim$. Let the map $q:k^{n+1} setminus 0 longrightarrow mathbb{P}^{n}$ be the quotient map that sends $x$ to its equivalence class. I have to show that it is an open map (for the Zariski topology). Any hint is appreciated.

Hint:




  1. $q^{-1}(q(U))=bigcup_{lambdain k^{times}}lambda U$


  2. Multiplication by $lambdaneq 0$ is a homeomorphism as for basic opens $lambda D(f)=D(f(frac{1}{lambda}(cdot))) $
