Linear subspaces of hypersurfaces

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let X be an arbitrary smooth hypersurface in mathbbCmathbbPn of degree d. We prove the de Jong-Debarre Conjecture for ngeq2d4: the space of lines in X has dimension 2nd3. We also prove an analogous result for k-planes: if , then the space of k-planes on X will be irreducible of the expected dimension. As applications, we prove that an arbitrary smooth hypersurface satisfying ngeq2d! is unirational, and we prove that the space of degree e curves on X will be irreducible of the expected dimension provided that dleqfrace+ne+1.
