Abstract: In 1987 Roberts completed the proof of the New Intersection Theorem (NIT) by settling the mixed characteristic case using local Chern characters, as developed by Fulton and also by Roberts. His proof has been the only one recorded of the NIT in mixed characteristic. This paper gives a new proof of this theorem, one which mostly parallels Roberts' original proof, but avoids the use of local Chern characters. Instead, the proof here uses Adams operations on K-theory with supports as developed by Gillet-Soule.

Review text

The New Intersection Theorem was proved in the equicharacteristic case by Peskine and Szpiro (char \(p>0\)) and Hochster (char \(0\)). In the mixed characteristic case, \textit{P. Roberts} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 304, 177--180 (1987; Zbl 0609.13010)] completed the proof using local Chern characters. The authors give here a new proof using Adams operations on \(K\)-theory with supports as developed by Gillet and Soule, instead of local Chern characters.
