An inequality about intersection multiplicity [Hartshorne Ex.I.5.4]












0












$begingroup$


Let $Y,Zsubset mathbb{A}^2$ defined by the polynomials $f$ and $g$. The intersection multiplicity of $Y$ and $Z$ at $p$ is defined as the length of the module $mathcal{O}_{mathbb{A}^2,P}/(f,g)$, denotes by $(Y Z)_p$. For simplicity,let us assume $P=(0,0)$. This length is finite (an argument can be found on this website), but Hartshorne also wants us to prove that it satisfies an inequality $$(YZ)_pgeq mu_P(f)mu_P(g),$$ where $mu_P(f)$ is the the smallest integer $r$ such that the homogenous degree $r$ part of $f$ is non-zero.



I am quite frankly unable to prove this, or have any idea where this could come from.

    Consider the basis ${1,x,y,x^2,xy,y^2,...}$ of $R[x,y]$ as an $R$ module. Count the terms left over after you mod out by $f$ and $g$.

    This seems believable, but I have trouble figuring out the details in general. Could you elaborate?
