Rational curves on hypersurfaces of low degree

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Let n > 2 and let d < (n+1)/2. We prove that for a general hypersurface X of degree d in P^n, all the genus 0 Kontsevich moduli spaces M_{0,n}(X,e) are irreducible, reduced, local complete intersection stacks of the expected dimension.
