  2. Intersection theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_theory

    One says that “the affine plane does not have a good intersection theory”, and intersection theory on non-projective varieties is much more difficult. A line on a P 1 × P 1 (which can also be interpreted as the non-singular quadric Q in P 3) has self-intersection 0, since a line can be moved off itself. (It is a ruled surface.)

  3. Intersection homology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_homology

    Intersection homology was originally defined on suitable spaces with a stratification, though the groups often turn out to be independent of the choice of stratification. There are many different definitions of stratified spaces. A convenient one for intersection homology is an n-dimensional topological pseudomanifold.

  4. Witten conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witten_conjecture

    encodes all the intersection indices as its coefficients. Witten's conjecture states that the partition function Z = exp F is a τ-function for the KdV hierarchy , in other words it satisfies a certain series of partial differential equations corresponding to the basis { L − 1 , L 0 , L 1 , … } {\displaystyle \{L_{-1},L_{0},L_{1},\ldots ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_fifteenth_problem

    Schubert calculus is the intersection theory of the 19th century, together with applications to enumerative geometry. Justifying this calculus was the content of Hilbert's 15th problem, and was also the major topic of the 20 century algebraic geometry.

  6. Poincaré duality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_duality

    In mathematics, the Poincaré duality theorem, named after Henri Poincaré, is a basic result on the structure of the homology and cohomology groups of manifolds.It states that if M is an n-dimensional oriented closed manifold (compact and without boundary), then the kth cohomology group of M is isomorphic to the (n − k) th homology group of M, for all integers k

  8. Scheme-theoretic intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme-theoretic_intersection

    That is, a scheme-theoretic multiplicity of an intersection may differ from an intersection-theoretic multiplicity, the latter given by Serre's Tor formula. Solving this disparity is one of the starting points for derived algebraic geometry, which aims to introduce the notion of derived intersection.

    In 1996 he received the Steele Prize for mathematical exposition for his text Intersection Theory. [1] Fulton is a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences since 1997; a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences from 1998, and was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2000.
