Find a function $f:mathbb{CP}^1 times mathbb{CP}^1 longrightarrow mathbb{CP}^3$ with image



$$
{[z_0:z_1:z_2:z_3] in mathbb{CP}^3 mid z_0^2 + cdots + z_3^2 = 0}.
$$



I have got no idea how to get the solution. I know it has to involve some imaginary $i$ because otherwise, when we plug in purely real input $([x_0:x_1],[y_0:y_1])$, it's not possible to obtain $z_0^2 + cdots + z_3^2 = 0$.

    HINT: Over $Bbb C$, the quadratic form $z_0^2+dots+z_3^2$ is equivalent to the quadratic form $z_0z_3pm z_1z_2$.

    Is it like un-diagonalisation?

    LOL, sure. It's just making an obvious change of basis in $Bbb C^4$.
