As a continuation of our previous work (Havlicek and Saniga 2007 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 40 F943–52 (Preprint 0708.4333)) an algebraic geometrical study of a single d-dimensional qudit is made, with d being any positive integer. The study is based on an intricate relation between the symplectic module of the generalized Pauli group of the qudit and the fine structure of the projective line over the (modular) ring . Explicit formulae are given for both the number of generalized Pauli operators commuting with a given one and the number of points of the projective line containing the corresponding vector of . We find, remarkably, that a perp-set is not a set-theoretic union of the corresponding points of the associated projective line unless d is a product of distinct primes. The operators are also seen to be structured into disjoint ‘layers’ according to the degree of their representing vectors. A brief comparison with some multiple-qudit cases is made.
