چکیده
Let k be a finite field with characteristic exceeding 3. We prove that the space of rational curves of fixed degree on any smooth cubic hypersurface over k with dimension at least 11 is irreducible and of the expected dimension.

Looking for Rational Curves on Cubic Hypersurfaces
The aim of these lectures is to study rational points and rational curves on varieties, mainly over finite fields Fq. We concentrate on hypersurfaces Xn of degree ≤ n+ 1 in Pn+1, especially on cubic hypersurfaces. The theorem of Chevalley–Warning (cf. Esnault’s lectures) guarantees rational points on low degree hypersurfaces over finite fields. That is, if X ⊂ Pn+1 is a hypersurface of degree ≤...
متن کاملUnirationality of Cubic Hypersurfaces
A remarkable result of [Segre43] says that a smooth cubic surface over Q is unirational iff it has a rational point. [Manin72, II.2] observed that similar arguments work for higher dimensional cubic hypersurfaces satisfying a certain genericity assumption over any infinite field. [CT-S-SD87, 2.3.1] extended the result of Segre to any normal cubic hypersurface (other than cones) over a field of ...
متن کاملRational Curves on Smooth Cubic Hypersurfaces
We prove that the space of rational curves of a fixed degree on any smooth cubic hypersurface of dimension at least four is irreducible and of the expected dimension. Our methods also show that the space of rational curves of a fixed degree on a general hypersurface in Pn of degree 2d ≤ min(n+4, 2n−2) and dimension at least three is irreducible and of the expected dimension.

متن کاملRationally Connected Varieties over Local Fields
LetX be a proper variety defined over a fieldK. Following [Manin72], two points x, x ∈ X(K) are called R-equivalent if they can be connected by a chain of rational curves defined over K, cf. (4.1). In essence, two points are R-equivalent if they are “obviously” rationally equivalent. Several authors have proved finiteness results over local and global fields (cubic hypersurfaces [Manin72, Swinn...
