Changing short description from "Theorem asserting that the image of a projective variety by a projection is also a variety" to "The image of a projective variety by a projection is also a variety" (Shortdesc helper)

Line 13:
:<math>(x,y)\mapsto \pi(x,y)=x.</math>
 
This projection is not [[closed map|closed]] for the [[Zariski topology]] (as well asnor for the usual topology if <math>k= \R</math> or <math>k= \C</math>), because the image by <math>\pi</math> of
the [[hyperbola]] {{mvar|H}} of equation <math>xy-1=0</math> is <math>L_x\setminus \{0\},</math> which is not closed, although {{mvar|H}} is closed, being an [[algebraic variety]].
