Self-intersection of the diagonal on a surface
Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over the complex numbers, and take $\Delta$ the diagonal divisor on $X\times X$. Using the adjunction formula, one computes $\Delta\cdot\Delta =2-2g$ for $g$ the ...

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 $(H,0)\subset(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$ ...

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 ...

Relative canonical class of blowing-up a flag ideal
Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension $n$. Consider a flag ideal $I$ on $X\times \mathbb{P}^1$, namely,
$$
I=I_0+I_1t+I_2t^2+\cdots+I_{N-1}t^{N-1}+(t^N)\,,
$$
where $t$ is the ...

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^\...
