This appendix is intended as a quick reference on Siefring’s intersection theory for the benefit of researchers who would like to use it and need an easy place to look up the main facts. All results here are stated without proof, with references (mostly to Lectures 3 and 4 in this book) given for further details. Two additional topics are covered that do not appear elsewhere in this book: covering relations for the star-pairing and normal Chern number, and the intersection product between holomorphic buildings. Finally, the appendix concludes with a comparison of notational and terminology conventions between Siefring’s theory and the equivalent notions that often appear in the literature on embedded contact homology: in particular, we clarify the relationship between Siefring’s relative asymptotic contributions and Hutchings’s asymptotic linking number and writhe.
