In mathematics, a complex line is a one-dimensional affine subspace of a vector space over the complex numbers. A common point of confusion is that while a complex line has complex dimension one over C (hence the term "line"), it has ordinary dimension two over the real numbers R, and is topologically equivalent to a real plane, not a real line.
