Hyperbolic hypersurfaces in \(\mathbb P^n\) of Fermat-Waring type (Q2782633)

This short note provides new examples of hyperbolic hypersurfaces in \(P_n({\mathbb C})\) of Fermat-Waring type. The main theorem provides examples of hyperbolic hypersurfaces of degree \(4(n-1)^2\). Let \(d\geq (m-1)^2\), \(m\geq (2n-1)\). Then for a generic choice of linear functions \(h_1,\dots,h_m\) on \({\mathbb C}^{n+1}\), the hypersurface NEWLINE\[NEWLINE X_{n-1}:= \left\{ z\in P_n({\mathbb C}): \sum_{j=1}^m h_j(z)^d=0 \right\} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE is hyperbolic. The construction is inspired by previous works of \textit{Y.-T. Siu} and \textit{S.-K. Yeung} [Am. J. Math. 119, 1139-1172 (1997; Zbl 0947.32012)] and \textit{M. Shirosaki} [Kodai Math. J. 23, 224-233 (2000; Zbl 0967.32023)]. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe second theorem generalizes the result of Shirosaki to arbitrary dimension. Let \(d\geq m^2-m+1\), \(m\geq 2n\). Then for generic choice of linear functions \(h_1,\dots,h_m\) on \({\mathbb C}^{n+1}\), the complement \(P_n({\mathbb C})\backslash X_{n-1}\) is complete hyperbolic and hyperbolically embedded in \(P_n({\mathbb C})\).
