Abstract: We construct new examples of Kobayashi hyperbolic hypersurfaces in the projective 4-space. They are generic projections of the triple symmetric product of a generic curve of genus at least 7, smoothly embedded in the projective 7-space.


Hyperbolicity of algebraic varieties have been intensively studied by various people, motivated by Lang's conjectures which are related to number theory. One difficulty is that there are several different notions of hyperbolicity. In this paper, the authors construct new examples of Kobayashi hyperbolic hypersurfaces in \(\mathbb P^4\) which are obtained from generic projections of the triple symmetric product of a generic curve of genus at least 6. The construction extends a similar construction of Kobayashi hyperbolic surfaces in \(\mathbb P^3\) obtained from the symmetric square of curves by Shiffman and Zaidenberg.
