Are there n polynomials for which all intersection multiplicities are at least m?
I don't know whether this is known or not, but I was thinking of the following problem.
Let $n$ and $m$ be natural numbers. Are there $n$ polynomial $f_1,...,f_n\in \mathbb{C}[x]$, such that all of ...

Twisted sheaves on tower of $\mathbb{P}^n$
Take the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a ring $W$.
We call $\mathcal{O}(q)$ the usual twisted line bundle.
Now take the map $f: \mathbb{P}^n\to\mathbb{P}^n$ defined by
$$[x_0,\ldots, x_n]\...
