报告摘要：I will state Bezout’s theorem, and will explain how to determine the multiplicity of a point in the intersection of two plane curves (a la Fulton). I will then provide a geometric proof of the Cayley-Bacharach theorem, which is (only) based on Bezout’s theorem, and linear algebra. Some consequences are Pappus’s theorem, Pascal’s theorem, and the associativity of the group action on an elliptic curve.
