Steiner claimed that the number of conics tangent to 5 given conics in general position is 7776 = 6 5, but later realized this was wrong. [2] The correct number 3264 was found in about 1859 by Ernest de Jonquières who did not publish because of Steiner's reputation, and by Chasles using his theory of characteristics, [3] and by Berner in 1865.
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.)
The study of moduli spaces of curves, maps and other geometric objects, sometimes via the theory of quantum cohomology. The study of quantum cohomology, Gromov–Witten invariants and mirror symmetry gave a significant progress in Clemens conjecture. Enumerative geometry is very closely tied to intersection theory. [1]
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 ...
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.

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.
