Abstract

Any set of σ\sigma-Hermitian matrices of size n×nn \times n over a field with involution σ\sigma gives rise to a projective line in the sense of ring geometry and a projective space in the sense of matrix geometry. It is shown that the two concepts are based upon the same set of points, up to some notational differences.
