Put $L=L_1\cap L_2$, and let $j:L\hookrightarrow M$ be inclusion. The transverse intersection theorem makes $L$ a smooth submanifold without boundary, withIt is compact because it is a closed subset of either compact input submanifold.

Write ${\nu }_r=TM{|}_{L_r}/T{L}_r$. On $L$, consider the bundle mapIts kernel is $TL$, and it is onto because $T{L}_1+T{L}_2=TM$ at every intersection point. Thus the normal bundle of a transverse intersection has the actual bundle isomorphismTransfer the direct-sum complex structure $J_1\oplus J_2$ through this isomorphism. This supplies a complex structure on the normal bundle itself, not merely after stabilization.

Geometrically, multiply the two classes by forming their external product in $M\times M$ and pulling it back along the diagonal $\Delta :M\to M\times M$. The transversality hypothesis is precisely what makes the inverse image of $L_1\times L_2$ under $\Delta$ the submanifold $L$. The normal bundle of this inverse image is the direct sum just calculated. Multiplication of the corresponding Thom classes agrees with the Thom class of this direct sum, so the complex cobordism product represented by transverse intersections isIf the inputs have complex normal ranks $a,b$, the product has degree $2(a+b)$. If they are disjoint, the representative is empty and the product is zero.

Choose a locally finite cover $(U_{\alpha })$ such that on every chart meeting $Y$ there is a smooth defining function $f_{\alpha }$ withand take $f_{\alpha }=1$ on charts disjoint from $Y$. On an overlap, the supplied division lemma extendssmoothly across $Y$. After shrinking the charts, this extension is nowhere zero. The identities $g_{\alpha \beta }{g}_{\beta \gamma }=g_{\alpha \gamma }$ make these functions transition functions for a real line bundle $L\to X$.

Choose local frames $e_{\alpha }$ with $e_{\beta }=g_{\alpha \beta }{e}_{\alpha }$. Then the local sectionsagree on overlaps and define a global section. Its zero set is exactly $Y$. Along $Y$, its vertical derivative is represented by the nonzero covector $d{f}_{\alpha }$, so $s$ is transverse to the zero section, as in the transverse intersection theorem. This is the defining line bundle of a properly embedded hypersurface.

Choose a normal ball on which ${\exp }_p$ is a diffeomorphism, and take $\epsilon$ smaller than half its radius. For $|X|<\epsilon$, $t\mapsto {\exp }_p(tX)$ is a geodesic of length $|X|$. If a competing curve remains in the normal ball, write it in polar form. The Gauss lemma makes radial and angular velocities orthogonal, so its speed is at least the absolute radial speed and its length is at least $|X|$. A curve leaving the larger normal ball already accumulates more than $|X|$ in radial variation. Thus the radial geodesic minimizes length.

At $q$, both $X$ and the geodesic sphere $\Sigma$ are hypersurfaces. If their tangent hyperplanes were distinct, they would be transverse. The transverse intersection theorem would then make $X\cap \Sigma$ a submanifold of dimensionFor $m\ge 3$ this has positive dimension near $q$, contradicting that the intersection is the singleton $\{q\}$. Therefore $T_{q}X=T_q\Sigma$.

The conclusion fails in dimension two because a transverse intersection is zero-dimensional and may be isolated. In the Euclidean plane, let $\Sigma$ be the unit circle, $q=(1,0)$, and let $X=\{(x,0):1/2<x<3/2\}$. Then $X\cap \Sigma =\{q\}$, but $T_{q}X$ is horizontal whereas $T_q\Sigma$ is vertical.

The restriction of $J$ to the $J$-invariant bundle $TY$ is an almost complex structure. Its Nijenhuis tensor is the restriction of the ambient Nijenhuis tensor because vector fields tangent to an embedded submanifold have tangent Lie bracket. The ambient tensor vanishes since $X$ is a complex manifold, so the Newlander-Nirenberg theorem makes the induced structure on $Y$ integrable. The inclusion has complex-linear differential and is therefore holomorphic; hence $Y$ is a complex submanifold.

For a complex submanifold, the holomorphic normal bundle isIf $Y$ is a smooth hypersurface, taking top exterior powers in the holomorphic conormal sequencegivesThe normal bundle of a hypersurface is $N_{Y/X}\cong {\mathcal{O}}_X(Y){|}_Y$, so the adjunction formula is

On $X={\mathbb{CP}}^n\times {\mathbb{CP}}^m$, a bihomogeneous polynomial of bidegree $(d_1,d_2)$ is a section of the holomorphic line bundle $\mathcal{O}(d_1,d_2)$. Its zero locus is smooth precisely when the section is transverse to the zero section, equivalently when $F$ and all of its homogeneous first partial derivatives have no common projective zero. Sincethe adjunction formula yieldsThus a smooth $F$ with $d_1=n+1$ and $d_2=m+1$ defines a complex submanifold with trivial canonical bundle.

Submanifolds $A,B\subseteq M$ intersect transversely when $T_{x}A+T_{x}B=T_{x}M$ at every intersection point. The transverse intersection theorem then determines the dimension and smoothness of $A\cap B$.
