Abstract: We get sharp degree bound for generic smoothness and connectedness of the space of conics in low degree complete intersections which generalizes the old work about Fano scheme of lines on Hypersurfaces.

Review text

The main result of the paper is the following: Theorem. For a general complete intersection of degree \((d_1, \dots, d_c)\) in \(\mathbb{P}^n\), where \(c\) is the codimension, the space of lines \(F(X)\) is empty if \(d_1+\dots+d_c>2n-2-c\), smooth of dimension \(2n-c-d_1+\dots+d_c\) if this number is non-negative. Furthermore, it is connected if \(d_1+\dots+d_c\leq 2n-3\) and \(X\) is not a quadric surface; the space of conics \(C(X)\) is empty if \(d_1+\dots+d_c>\frac{3n-2-c}{2}\), smooth of dimension \(3n-1-c-2(d_1+\dots+d_c)\) if this number is non-negative. Furthermore, \(C(X)\) is always connected if \(d_1+\dots+d_c\leq (3n-3-c)/2\). The proof follows the strategy of \textit{J. Kollár} [Rational curves on algebraic varieties. Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete. 3. Folge. 32. Berlin: Springer-Verlag. (1995; Zbl 0877.14012) Chap. V, Theorem 4.3].
