On the degree of Fano schemes of linear subspaces on hypersurfaces (Q290999)

Let \(X\subset\mathbb{CP}^n\) be a general hypersurface of degree \(d\). The Fano scheme \(F_k (X)\) is defined to be the set of \(k\)-dimensional linear subspaces of \(\mathbb{CP}^n\) which are contained in \(X\). This is a subscheme of the Grassmannian \(\mathbb G(k,n)\) of \(k\)-dimensional linear subspaces in \(\mathbb{CP}^n\). In this paper the author proves an explicit formula for computing the degree of Fano schemes of linear subspaces on general hypersurfaces. The method used here is based on the localization theorem and Bott's residue formula in equivariant intersection theory.
