Rational linear subspaces of hypersurfaces over finite fields

Algebraic Geometry 2021-11-23 v1

Abstract

Fix positive integers n,r,dn,r,d. We show that if n,r,dn,r,d satisfy a suitable inequality, then any smooth hypersurface XPnX\subset \mathbb{P}^n defined over a finite field of characteristic pp sufficiently large contains a rational rr-plane. Under more restrictive hypotheses on n,r,dn,r,d we show the same result without the assumption that XX is smooth or that pp is sufficiently large.
