Abstract: We prove that the space of smooth rational curves of degree $e$ in a general complete intersection of multidegree $(d_1,\mathrm{...},d_m)$ in $P{P}^n$ is irreducible of the expected dimension if $su{m}_{i=1}^m{d}_i<frac2n3$ and $n$ is large enough. This generalizes the results of Harris, Roth and Starr cite{hrs}, and is achieved by proving that the space of conics passing through any point of a general complete intersection has constant dimension if $su{m}_{i=1}^m{d}_i$ is small compared to $n$.

Review text

This paper studies the space of rational curves on a general complete intersection.NEWLINENEWLINEThe main results are:NEWLINENEWLINETheorem 1.3. Let \(X\) be a general hypersurface of degree \(d \leq n-1\) in \(\mathbb{P}^n\). If \(\frac{(n-d)(n-d-1)}{2}>n-1\), then the evaluation map \(\mathrm{ev}: \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,1}(X, 2) \to X\) is flat of relative dimension \(2n-2d\).NEWLINENEWLINETheorem 1.4. Let \(X\) be a general hypersurface of degree \(d <(2n+2)/3, n \geq 23\) in \(\mathbb{P}^n\). Then for every \(e \geq 1\), the evaluation map \(\mathrm{ev}: \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,1}(X, e) \to X\) is flat of relative dimension \(e(n+1-d)-2\). And \(\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,0}(X, e)\) is an integral local complete intersection stack of expected dimension \(e(n+1-d)+n-4\).NEWLINENEWLINEThe key ingredient in the proof is a study of proper family of embedded conics.NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors also prove some results about the non-free lines on a general complete intersection.
