Apr 26, 2021 at 20:56 comment added Galathea Thank you! Out of interest though, are there any cases when it is not ok to use the projection formula?
Apr 26, 2021 at 16:47 comment added Tabes Bridges @Gala just as you indicated in your post: $\varphi_*(\varphi^* D.\alpha) = D.\varphi_*\alpha = D.0 = 0$.
Apr 25, 2021 at 21:37 comment added Will Sawin If it's an intersection number, and not a class that you're after, you can use the projection formula.
Apr 25, 2021 at 19:57 comment added Galathea I'm sorry, I dont understand yet. How can I use $\varphi_* \alpha = 0$ to calculate $\varphi^* D . \alpha$? I'm aware it must be simple but I do not see it..
Apr 25, 2021 at 19:52 comment added abx Because already $\varphi _*\alpha =0$, by the very definition of $\varphi _*$.

Apr 25, 2021 at 19:40 comment added Galathea You are right, I was trying to make the question general, even though I am interested in the case where $dim(\varphi_* \alpha)< dim( \alpha)$. I will change the question. Can you explain though why the product would be zero in this case? It was my guess but I can't really prove it
Apr 25, 2021 at 18:53 comment added abx Why would $\varphi _*(\alpha )$ have lower dimension that $\alpha $? This depends very much on the situation. If it is, it just means that the product is $0$.
