Problem II.5.4.1

Verify that in the space RP3\mathbb {R}\mathbb {P}^{3} there are exactly 8 classes of projectively equivalent quadrics (including zero and degenerate quadrics, as well as double subspaces). In a suitable homogeneous coordinate system, representatives of these classes are given by the equations: 1:ξ02+ξ12+ξ22+ξ32=0;1: \xi_{0}^{2}+\xi_{1}^{2}+\xi_{2}^{2}+\xi_{3}^{2}=0 ; 2:ξ02+ξ12+ξ22−ξ32=0;2: \xi_{0}^{2}+\xi_{1}^{2}+\xi_{2}^{2}-\xi_{3}^{2}=0 ; 3:ξ02+ξ12−ξ22−ξ32=03: \xi_{0}^{2}+\xi_{1}^{2}-\xi_{2}^{2}-\xi_{3}^{2}=0; 4:ξ02+ξ12+ξ22=0;4: \xi_{0}^{2}+\xi_{1}^{2}+\xi_{2}^{2}=0 ; 5:ξ02+ξ12−ξ22=05: \xi_{0}^{2}+\xi_{1}^{2}-\xi_{2}^{2}=0; 6:ξ02+ξ12=06: \xi_{0}^{2}+\xi_{1}^{2}=0; 7:ξ02−ξ12=07: \xi_{0}^{2}-\xi_{1}^{2}=0; 8:ξ02=08: \xi_{0}^{2}=0.
