Projective Interior Probability Fibers

Abstract

Squared amplitudes on complex projective space have torus-shaped interior fibers.

Theorem 1.1 (Interior projective probability fibers are tori).

Commentary.

Fix the standard basis on the complex vector space with n plus one coordinates. The public state carrier is its Mathlib projectivization, and the basis-probability map sends any nonzero representative to its coordinatewise squared amplitudes divided by their total.

For a strictly positive probability vector, every representative in the fiber has nonzero coordinates. Scaled affine ratios against coordinate zero therefore have squared norm one and define n relative circle phases.

The inverse uses amplitudes whose positive magnitudes are the square roots of the prescribed probabilities, fixes the reference phase to one, and inserts the n relative phases. Direct representative computations prove both inverse laws on the projective fiber.
