How to prove that a specific quadric intersection is complete and irreducible?

Let's borrow the quadric intersection $I$ from another question. More precisely, let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $\neq 2$ and $a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_n \in k^*$ be some ...

Prescribed intersection of varieties

Every variety here is complex analytic, or complex algebraic if it solves anything. Given a germ of a (possibly singular, nor necessarily irreducible) hypersurface $(H,0)\subset(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$ ...

How to compute the genus of the (singular) intersection of three quadratics in $\mathbb{C}P^4$?

Consider three quadratics in $\mathbb{C}P^4$: $$ x_0^2+4x_1^2+\frac{x^2_2}{4}=0,~ x_1x_4+x_2x_3=0, ~ x_0^2+x_3^2+x_4^2=0. $$ If there intersection was non-singular, then the intersection should be a ...

How to define the intersection multiplicity of a projective variety and a complete intersection?

In the appendix of Algebaric Geometry by Hartshorne, he shows us that how Serre defines the intersection number in a more general case:$$i(X,Y;Z)=\sum(-1)^i\cdot\bigl(\operatorname{length} \...

Noether intersection multiplicity for complete intersections

If I take two curves $C,D$ on a surface $M$ with isolated intersection point $p$, then Noether gives a formula equating the intersection multiplicity $i_p(C,D)$ of $C$ and $D$ at $p$ in terms of their ...

Linear sections of Segre varieties and rational normal scrolls

In a projective space $\mathbb{P}^{k+2}$ consider two complementary subspaces $\mathbb{P}^1,\mathbb{P}^k$, and let $C\subset\mathbb{P}^k$ be a degree $k$ rational normal curve. Fixed an isomorphism $\...

Sufficient conditions to get complete intersection curves

Let $H_1,H_2\cdots,H_{d-1}$ be hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^d$, if the intersection $B:=H_1\cap H_2\cap \cdots \cap H_{d-1}$ is $1$-dimensional then it is called a complete intersection curve. What ...

Bezout's theorem for non-proper intersections?

Is there a version of Bézout's theorem for non-proper intersections? For my specific problem, the setup is as follows: Let $P_1,P_2,P_3,P_4\in\mathbb{C}[z_1,z_2,z_3,z_4]$, and suppose that (as a ...
