Deformation to the normal cone
Deformation to the normal cone appears in several places including Intersection theory and Verdier specialisation of construtible sheaves or D-modules. I'd like to understand what happens when we ...

If Serre's intersection multiplicity $\chi(R/I, R/J)$ equals $\operatorname{length}_R (R/(I+J))$, then are $R/I, R/J$ Cohen-Macaulay?
Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a regular local ring. Let $I,J$ be proper ideals of $R$ such that $R/(I+J)$ has finite length i.e. $\sqrt{I+J}=\mathfrak m.$ Since $I+J$ annihilates $\text{Tor}_n^R(R/I, R/J)$ ...

Riemann-Roch and Grothendieck duality: general case of Fulton's example 18.3.19
Fulton's "Intersection theory" book contains the following fact (example 18.3.19):
Let $X$ be a Cohen-Macaulay scheme over a field. Assume $X$ can be imbedded in a smooth scheme (so it has a ...

The volume around a singular isolated root when equalities are loosened
Suppose I have a system of polynomial equations in $n$ real variables $f_i(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=0$, $i=1,\ldots,m$, such that $0$ is an isolated solution. Now I replace each of the equations with a double-...

Intersection numbers on blow ups of toric varieties
Suppose we have a smooth, complete toric varietiy $X_{\Sigma}$ of dimension $n$. Let $\sigma_k \in \Sigma(k)$ a smooth $k$-dimensional cone in $\Sigma$ and suppose we make the toric blow up at the ...

Intersection of two modules (and sub-modules) under tensors
I have a (hopefully quick) question regarding an intersection of two tensor modules. Let $K$ be a field and $A, B$ finitely-generated modules over the Laurent series $K((X))$. Let $\tilde{A}$ be a (...

Intersection theory on schemes with Gorenstein singularities
Is there a good reference/book on Intersection theory on schemes with Gorenstein singularities? Does the construction of the intersection of cycles discussed in Fulton's book also hold for schemes ...

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 ...

Intersection Multiplicity
Let $X$ be an hyper-surface in an affine space defined by an equation $F$. We can assume that the ground field is $\mathbb{C}$ and $X$ is normal. Take functions $f_1,\dots, f_n$ on $X$ and let $B$ ...

How to show that the intersection of two certain affine varieties is reduced?
$\DeclareMathOperator\codim{codim}$Let $X=V(I)$, $Y=V(J)$ be two affine varieties. I'd like to know possibile strategies to understand when their schematic intersection, i.e. $X\cap Y=V(I+J)$, is ...

Intersection theory on normal crossing algebraic surfaces
Let $X$ be an algebraic surface with normal crossing singularities. Suppose the singular locus of $X$ is a smooth curve. Let us denote it by $C$. Suppose $D$ is another smooth curve in $X$ which ...

A strong form of Bezout theorem
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety of dimension $n$, $U \subset X$, non-empty open set. For any integer $k>0$, does there exist $n$-hypersurface sections $Z_1,...,Z_n \in |\mathcal{O}_X(k)|$ ...
