Is there a Serre Tor formula for nonproper intersections?
Background: Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective algebraic variety, and let $V$ and $W$ be closed subvarieties. For simplicity, let's assume that $\dim V+\dim W=\dim X$.
Now Serre's famous Tor ...

Are Chow groups generated by local complete intersections?
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field. The Chow group $\mathbb Q\mathrm{CH}^d(X)$ is $\mathbb Q$--linearly generated by irreducible subvarieties $Z \subseteq X$ of ...

intersection theory
Assume that $X$ is a smooth 3-fold (over $\mathbb C$). Let $V$ be a smooth divisor on $X$ and let $S_1,S_2$ be prime divisors on $X$. Assume that given a curve $C$ on $X$ not contained in $V$, then

Survey article on Intersection Theory
Does anybody knows about good overview on intersection theory.
The book of Fulton has very hard language. Does there exist simple overview on this topic with many examples?

A Theorem in Intersection theory.
Fulton's Book on intersection theory (Pg.223, theorem 12.3) asserts the following result:
For r pure dimensional schemes in P^n, whose co-dimensions add to at most n, the product of their degrees is ...

Simple description of a Chow ring of blow-ups.
Is there a simple description of a Chow ring of a blow-up of a point on a smooth projective variety? Or at least of successive blow-ups of $\mathbb{P}^n$?
Maybe something like $A(\tilde{X})=f^*(A(...

How I calculate degree of the algebraic curve?
Let F be algebraically closed field. Let C be a curve in F^n defined as zeroes of polynomials $p_1(x_1,\ldots,x_n),..,p_{n-1}(x_1,\ldots x_n)$.
Let us define degree of the curve as $\max_S \{ S\cap C ...

Chern classes of pushforwards
Let $f:X\to Y$ be a proper morphism of normal varieties (smooth as DM stacks, but I only care about the coarse spaces). The map $f$ is generically finite, but not flat (so no hope of smoothness and ...

intersection theory on proper algebraic spaces

Reference for the Hodge Bundle
For the purposes of this question, let the Hodge bundle $\lambda$ be the bundle on a fibration of abelian varieties $X\to B$ with fiber over $b\in B$ the space of 1-forms on $X_b$, or the pullback to $...

A composition of a finite morphisms with the transpose correspondence: is it the multiplication by the degree?
Let $X,Y$ be smooth varieties over a field $k$ (which in my case is perfect of finite characteristic $p$; we may also assume that $X,Y$ are connected); $s:Y\to X$ is a finite morphism of degree $d$. ...

Upper bound on the number of intersections of algebraic manifolds with affine planes
Given an algebraic map $f: B^d \to \mathbb{R}$, from the unit ball of dimension $d$ to the real, let $Y = f^{-1}(0)$. Then it is always possible to find a smaller ball $B_r \subset B^d$ not ...

Intersection of subvarieties versus ranks of Chow groups modulo numerical equivalences
A nice property of $\mathbb P^n$ is:
Property 1: Two subvarieties $U,V$ such that $\operatorname{dim} U +\operatorname{dim} V \geq n$ always intersect.
(for example, any 2 curves in $\mathbb P^2$ ...

Let $X$ be a Cohen-Macaulay scheme over a field. Assume $X$ can be imbedded in a smooth scheme (so it has a ...

A nontrivial surface on which any two curves intersect
One interesting property of the projective plane is that any two plane curves intersect. (More generally, if $V$ and $W$ are subvarieties of any projective space, and codim $V$ + codim $W \geq 0$, ...
