The projective intersection number of two homogeneous polynomials f, g in three variables,
defined as the k-dimension of the degree-n piece of k[x,y,z] / (⟨f⟩ + ⟨g⟩).
Instances For
Equal ideals give equal homogeneous quotient piece dimensions.
Bezout's theorem in multiplicity-sum form: for coprime homogeneous f, g of degrees d, e
and sufficiently large n, the projective intersection number equals d * e.
Symmetry of the projective intersection number in its two homogeneous arguments.
Two distinct lines in P² intersect in exactly one point (counted with multiplicity).
A line meets a conic in P² in exactly 1 · 2 = 2 points (counted with multiplicity).
Two distinct conics in P² intersect in 2 · 2 = 4 points (counted with multiplicity).
A line meets a smooth cubic in P² in 1 · 3 = 3 points (counted with multiplicity).
A point of intersection of the projective varieties V(f) and V(g), encoded as a prime
ideal of k[x, y, z] containing both f and g.

Instances For
Local intersection multiplicity at a projective intersection point p of f and g,
defined as the k-dimension of the localisation of k[x, y, z] / (⟨f⟩ + ⟨g⟩) at the image
of p.
Instances For
For coprime homogeneous polynomials f, g, only finitely many projective points have a
nonzero local intersection multiplicity.
Artinian decomposition for the homogeneous quotient: the sum of local multiplicities at the intersection points equals the dimension of the stable graded piece.
Projective Bezout (multiplicity-sum form): for coprime homogeneous f, g of degrees d, e
the sum of local intersection multiplicities over all intersection points equals d * e.
