Abstract

In this note, we study various measures of irrationality for hypersurfaces in projective spaces which were recently proposed by Bastianelli, De Poi, Ein, Lazarsfeld and Ullery. In particular, we answer the question raised by Bastianelli that if XPn+1X \subset P^{n+1} is a very general smooth hypersurface of dimension nn and degree d2n+2d\geq 2n+2, then stab.irr(X)=uni.irr(X)=d1\text{stab.irr}(X)=\text{uni.irr}(X)=d-1. As a corollary, we prove that irr(X×Pm)=irr(X)\text{irr}(X\times P^{m})=\text{irr}(X) for any integer m1m\geq 1.
