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)...

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 ...

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 ...
