The weighted projective space associated to a list {q0, q1, …, qd }, where no d-element subset of q0, q1, …, qd has a nontrivial common factor, is a projective simplicial normal toric variety built from a fan in N = ℤd+1/ℤ(q0, q1, …,qd). The rays are generated by the images of the standard basis for ℤd+1, and the maximal cones in the fan correspond to the d-element subsets of {0, 1, ..., d }. A weighted projective space is typically not smooth.
The first examples illustrate the defining data for three different weighted projective spaces.

The grading of the total coordinate ring for weighted projective space is determined by the weights. In particular, the class group is ℤ.
