| An arithmetic Bézout theorem |
In this paper, we prove two versions of an arithmetic analogue of
Bézout's theorem, subject to some technical restrictions. The
basic formula proven is
.
The theorems are inspired by the arithmetic Bézout theorem of Bost,
Gillet, and Soulé, but improve upon them in two ways. First, we
obtain an equality up to O(1) as the intersecting cycles vary in
projective families. Second, we generalise this result to
intersections of divisors on any regular, generically smooth,
projective arithmetic variety. We present an application of these
results to proving an analogue of Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem for
intersections of curves in 
.
