Bézout’s Theorem is the classical statement that generic curves of degree c and d intersect in cd points. However, this theorem requires that we work over an algebraically closed field. Using some tools from A^1-algebraic topology, we will give an arithmetic generalization of Bézout’s Theorem. We will also describe the geometric implications of this generalization over the reals.
