Positivity results for spaces of rational curves

Abstract: Let

X

be a very general hypersurface of degree

d

in

m a t h b b P^{n}

. We investigate positivity properties of the spaces

R_{e} (X)

of degree

e

rational curves in

X

. We show that for small

e

,

R_{e} (X)

has no rational curves meeting the locus of smooth embedded curves. We show that for

n l e q d

, there are no rational curves in the locus

Y s u b s e t X

swept out by lines. And we exhibit differential forms on a smooth compactification of

R_{e} (X)

for every

e

and

n - 2 g e q d g e q f r a c n + 1 2

.
