Hi, everyone:
How do we show that 2 planar surfaces in R^4 intersect at points (possibly empty
sets of points, but not in lines, etc.).
I am curious to see how we justify the Poincare dual of the intersection form in
cohomology being modular, i.e., integer-valued.?
I am confused because the same does not seem to apply to, e.g., lines, which,
when embedded in R^2 or R^3 and R^4 , intersect (if at all) at points.
Thanks.
