Lines highly tangent to a hypersurface

Authors: Anand Patel, Eric Riedl, Geoffrey S. Smith, Dennis Tseng

Publication date: 8 August 2022

Abstract: We study spaces of lines that meet a smooth hypersurface X in P^n to high order. As an application, we give a polynomial upper bound on the number of planes contained in a smooth degree d hypersurface in P^5 and provide a proof of a result of Landsberg without using moving frames.
