The projective spectrum of a finite module #
The coefficient morphism Proj(Sym M) ⟶ Spec R is proper when M is a finite
R-module, even when M is not free or projective. Over a Noetherian coefficient ring,
its source is a Noetherian scheme. These are the finiteness properties needed to apply
Chevalley's theorem to projective orbit morphisms.
The convention is that M consists of homogeneous linear coordinates. For the space of
lines in a finite locally free representation V, use M = V∨.
SymmetricAlgebra.projToSpec is the structural morphism over R. Its properness and
quasi-compactness instances require only Module.Finite R M; its Noetherianity instance
also requires IsNoetherianRing R. The chart formula describes this morphism on the
standard affine charts. Its source is Jacobson whenever Spec R is Jacobson.
