Linear families of smooth hypersurfaces over finitely generated fields

Algebraic Geometry 2022-12-22 v2

Abstract

Let KK be a finitely generated field. We construct an nn-dimensional linear system L\mathcal{L} of hypersurfaces of degree dd in Pn\mathbb{P}^n defined over KK such that each member of L\mathcal{L} defined over KK is smooth, under the hypothesis that the characteristic pp does not divide gcd(d,n+1)\gcd(d, n+1) (in particular, there is no restriction when KK has characteristic 00). Moreover, we exhibit a counterexample when pp divides gcd(d,n+1)\gcd(d, n+1).
