Extract

The purpose of this paper is to call attention to a very simple example of intersections on a singular variety, and to its effect on intersection theories relating to ambient varieties with singularities; in particular it will be shown how the example—to which we refer throughout as Example A—invalidates an aspect of the theory put forward by P. Samuel ([1], Ch. VI).
