Abstract

Let XP2k+1X\subset \mathbb{P}^{2k+1} be a smooth hypersurface containing two k-dimensional linear spaces Π1,Π2\Pi_1,\Pi_2 intersecting in codimension one. In this paper we study the question whether the Hodge loci NL([Π1]+λ[Π2])NL([\Pi_1]+\lambda[\Pi_2]) and NL([Π1],[Π2])NL([\Pi_1],[\Pi_2]) coincide. This turns out to be the case in a neighborhood of XX if XX is very general on NL([Π1],[Π2])NL([\Pi_1],[\Pi_2]), k>1k>1 and λ0,1\lambda\neq 0,1. However, there exists a hypersurface XX for which NL([Π1],[Π2])NL([\Pi_1],[\Pi_2]) is smooth at XX, but NL([Π1]+λ[Π2])NL([\Pi_1]+\lambda [\Pi_2]) is singular for all λ0,1\lambda\neq0,1. We expect that this is due to an embedded component of NL([Π1]+λ[Π2])NL([\Pi_1]+\lambda[\Pi_2]). The case k=1k=1 was treated before by Dan, in that case NL([Π1]+λ[Π2])NL([\Pi_1]+\lambda [\Pi_2]) is nonreduced.
