How to correctly calculate the intersection number of the exceptional line with the canonical divisor of the blowup?

Let $X$ be a projective subvariety in $\Bbb P^{3}$ which is given by the equation $xyw-z^{3}=0$. Let $\widetilde{X} \rightarrow X$ be the blow up at the point $q :[x:y:z:w]=[0:0:0:1]$. There are two ...

Surjectivity of the pushforward of a blowing-up morphism

Given a closed immersion $Z\rightarrow X$ and considering the blowing-up of $X$ at $Z$ and we get $\widetilde{X}$. I'm wondering is the proper pushforward on etale cohomology induced by the blowing-up ...

Confusion about line bundles and the intersection product

Let $X = \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^{2}$ and let $Y$ be the blowup of $X$ at the origin. Let $E \cong \mathbb{P}^{1}$ the exceptional divisor. I think that we have a canonical inclusion $\mathcal{O}_{Y} \...

Formula $m_p(C\cap D)=\sum_xm_x(C)m_x(D)$, for $x$ infinitely near $p$, applied to a concrete example

I'm reading this wikipedia article about infinitely near points. In the section "Applications", the article says: If $C,D$ are irreducible curves on a smooth surface $S$ which intersect in a ...

Intersection Theory and Blow up

The following is from Fulton's Intersection Theory: Theorem 6.7 (Blow-up Formula). Let $V$ be a $k$-dimensional subvariety of $Y$, and let $\widetilde{V} \subset \widetilde{Y}$ be the proper ...

Self-intersection of a curve $C\subset \Bbb{P}^2$ after $3$ blow-ups

Let $P_0,P_1,P_2\in\Bbb{P}^2$ points in general position,consider the lines $\ell_i:=\overline{P_jP_k}$ for $\{i,j,k\}=\{0,1,2\}$ and the blow-up $\pi:S\to\mathbb{P}^2$ at $P_0,P_1,P_2$. I was told ...

How to use Nakai-Moishezon criterion?

Theorem (Nakai- Moishezon): A Cartier divisor $D$ on proper scheme $X$ is ample if and only if, for every integral subscheme $Y$ of $X$, one has $D^{\text{dim}(Y)}. Y > 0$ Defintion: Let $X$ ...

Self-Intersection under Blow up

Let $X$ be a algebraic surface, $\Lambda$ be a linear system, and $p\in \Lambda$ be its base point. We blow up $X$ at $p$, denote the exceptional curve $E$. Q: For any $C\in|\Lambda|$, can we say $(...
