Geometric generic point of a complete linear system

In the following context: Let $S$ be a connected smooth projective surface over $\mathbb{C}$, and let $\Sigma$ be the complete linear system of a very ample divisor $D$ on $S$. Let $d=\dim(\Sigma)$ ...

dimension of fibre of a generic point in an intersection of two sets

Let $M_m := (f_1, \cdots, f_m )$ be an algebraic map from $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathbb{R}^m$ and $f_1^2,...,f_m^2$ are homogeneous polynomials of the same degree in $Q[x_1,...,x_n]$ . Similarly define $...

Why are trivalent/cubic graphs 'generic' in surfaces?

I've seen some statements that trivalent graphs in a surface are 'generic'. See for example the Wiki entry on cubic graphs. I'm wondering how this could be rephrased. Here are some (somewhat imprecise)...

What are the most important instances of the "yoga of generic points"?

In algebraic geometry, an irreducible scheme has a point called "the generic point." The justification for this terminology is that under reasonable finiteness hypotheses, a property that is true at ...

Point generation in polygon

I know about the Halton sequence. But so far I can’t find the formulas by which points are generated. Also worried is the question Halton sequence generates points only in the rectangle? Or can I ...

Condition on the point cloud matrix making the points "generic" in the uniform sense

For a matrix $X\in\mathbb{R}^{d\times n}$, what condition can I impose on $X$ to make the collection of its columns generic in the sense that they look like the result of uniformly sampling a convex ...

Largeness, generic, random points

As presented in Oxtoby's book ( http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-1-4615-9964-7 ), there are two notions of largeness for subspace $Y$ of a given space $X$: Topology: $X$ is a topological ...

Self-intersection and generic point

The Wikipedia entry on intersection theory contains the following statement: [for C a curve, on a surface] "the self-intersection points of C is the generic point of C, taken with multiplicity C · C."...

Zero locus of a generic smooth section

Let $V$ be a smooth manifold, $E \rightarrow V$ a vector bundle over $V$ and $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting nontrivially on $V$ and $E$. Let $s \in C^\infty(E)$ be a generic $\Gamma$-equivariant ...
