Chasles's theorem states that if two projective pencils of curves of orders
and
have no common curve, the locus of the intersections of
corresponding curves of the two is a curve of order
through all the centers of either pencil.
Conversely, if a curve of order
contains all centers of a pencil
of order
to the multiplicity demanded by Noether's
fundamental theorem, then it is the locus of the intersections
of corresponding curves of this pencil and one of order
projective therewith.
