Fano varieties in index one Fano complete intersections (Q2481297)

The unirationality of degree \(n\) hypersurfaces of \(\mathbb{P}^n\) is a classical and intricate problem. As suggested by \textit{R. Beheshti} and \textit{J. M. Starr} [J. Algebr. Geom. 17, No. 2, 255--274 (2008; Zbl 1141.14024)], if \(X\) is unirational then it is covered by rational subvarieties of smaller dimension. The note under review uses and expands these ideas to prove that Fano complete intersection of index 1 are not covered by subvarieties with nef anticanonical bundle. This is achieved by associating a sheaf section to a deformation family and then prove the vanishing of the cohomology under the assumptions required.
