Geometry of Rational Curves on Low degree Complete Intersections

Algebraic Geometry 2017-01-17 v3

Abstract

For a smooth complete intersection X, we consider a general fiber \mathbb{F} of the evaluation map ev of Kontsevich moduli space \bar{M}_{0,m}(X,m)\rightarrow X^m and the forgetful functor F : \mathbb{F} \rightarrow \bar{M}_{0,m}. We prove that a general fiber of the map FF is a smooth complete intersection if XX is of low degree. The result sheds some light on the arithmetic and geometry of Fano complete intersections.
