Given a finitely generated module M over a local ring A of characteristic p with \pd M < ∞, we study the asymptotic intersection multiplicity χ_∞(M, A/\underlinex), where \underlinex = (x1, …, xr) is a system of parameters for M. We show that there exists a system of parameters such that χ_∞ is positive if and only if dim \Extd-r(M, A) = r, where d = dim A and r = dim M. We use this to prove several results relating to the Grade Conjecture, which states that \grade M + dim M = dim A for any module M with \pd M < ∞.
