Bézout’s theorem (Algebraic Geometry)
The classic version of Bézout’s theorem![]()
states that two complex projective curves of degrees and which share no common component intersect in exactly points if the points are counted with multiplicity
![]()
.
The generalized version of Bézout’s theorem states that if and are algebraic varieties in -dimensional projective space over an algebraically complete field and is a variety![]()
of dimension , then the degree of is the product
of the degrees of and .
