Abundance of 3-planes on real projective hypersurfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2015-07-30 v3

Abstract

We show that a generic real projective nn-dimensional hypersurface of odd degree dd, such that 4(n2)=(d+33)4(n-2)=\binom{d+3}3, contains "many" real 3-planes, namely, in the logarithmic scale their number has the same rate of growth, d3logdd^3\log d, as the number of complex 3-planes. This estimate is based on the interpretation of a suitable signed count of the 3-planes as the Euler number of an appropriate bundle.
