In mathematics, the lines of a 3-dimensional projective space, S, can be viewed as points of a 5-dimensional projective space, T. In that 5-space, the points that represent each line in S lie on a quadric, Q known as the Klein quadric.
If the underlying vector space of S is the 4-dimensional vector space V, then T has as the underlying vector space the 6-dimensional exterior square ΛV of V. The line coordinates obtained this way are known as Plücker coordinates.
These Plücker coordinates satisfy the quadratic relation
defining Q, where
