Jan 28, 2014 at 8:41 comment added Alex Gavrilov Looks like you are right. I was under impression that the components have the same class, because they are symmetric under the symmetry group of $X$. But under close examination, this group isn't connected. My bad.
Jan 28, 2014 at 8:05 comment added Alex Gavrilov If you think that $p$ and $q$ are the classes of components of $Y\cap Z$, then I do not believe this.
Jan 28, 2014 at 8:02 comment added Alex Gavrilov abx, what do you mean? With my notation, $[Y]=[Z]=h$, because these are hyperplane sections.
Jan 27, 2014 at 18:06 comment added Allen Knutson A more general statement is, if $X$ smooth complete contains $Y,Z$ where $Y$ is a hypersurface containing no component of $Z$, then $[Y\cap Z] = [Y]\smile[Z]$.
Jan 27, 2014 at 17:04 comment added abx This is well known. A 4-dimensional smooth quadric $X$ has $H^2(X,\Bbb{Z})=\Bbb{Z}.h$ and $H^4(X,\Bbb{Z})=\Bbb{Z}.p+\Bbb{Z}.q$, with $p^2=q^2=1$, $p.q=0$ and $h^2=p+q$. With your notation, $[Y]=p$ and $[Z]=q$.
Jan 27, 2014 at 16:11 comment added Alex Gavrilov Why do you think so?
Jan 27, 2014 at 14:17 comment added abx Of course it is $[Y]\smile [Z]$! This is clear in your example. Try again!
