Intersection theory in analytic geometry

This might be a weird/stupid question, but it came to me a couple of times, and I would like to get an answer for that. In some papers I read, constantly the authors define some analytic subspaces, ...

Fulton's deformation to the normal cone vs Verdier's

Let $X$ be a smooth variety over a field $k$, and let $Y$ be a smooth subvariety. In the literature, I've seen two versions of the deformation to the normal cone: Verdier's version: $\tilde{X}_Y^\...

Bezout theorem for germs of holomorphic functions

UPDATE. It was pointed out by @Dmitri that two smooth curves given by $f=y$ and $g=y+x^k$ in $\mathbb C^2$ provide a simple counterexample. Let $f_1, \ldots, f_p, g_1, \ldots, g_q$ be germs of ...

Explicit formula for the Poincare dual of a CM endomorphism of an elliptic curve

Let $E/\mathbf{C}$ be an elliptic curve with CM by the maximal order $\mathcal{O}_K$ of $K=\mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{-D})$ where $D$ is positive and square-free integer. To make it even more precise, let us ...

How many points determine a line?

Consider the affine space $\mathbb C^n$ and then, because of reasons, compactify it to obtain the projective space $\mathbb P^n$. One of the most basic axioms or propositions of geometry is that ...

Cycle class of zeroes of a global section

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a locally free sheaf of rank $n$ on an $n$ dimensional complex manifold $X$. If the zero locus of a generic global section of $\mathcal{F}$ is $0$ dimensional, then its cycle ...

Homotopy of paths at the boundary

Denote by $\Gamma$ a hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^2$, i.e. the zero locus of a polynomial of two complex variables. Denote by $X$ the complement of $\Gamma$ in $\mathbb{C}^2$. I am trying to define a ...

Are "transverse" hyperplane sections of nondegenerate irreducible projectice varieties always nondegenerate

Let $X \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n$ be a irreducible complex projective variety. It is called nondegenerate if it is not contained in a hyperplane in $\mathbb{P}^n$. Assuming $X$ is nondegenerate and ...
