Abstract

Alex Waldron proved that for sufficiently general degree dd hypersurfaces in projective nn-space, the Fano scheme parameterizing rr-dimensional linear spaces contained in the hypersurface is nonempty precisely for the degree range nN1(r,d)n\geq N_1(r,d) where the "expected dimension" f1(n,r,d)f_1(n,r,d) is nonnegative, in which case f1(n,r,d)f_1(n,r,d) equals the (pure) dimension. Using work by Gleb Nenashev, we prove that for sufficiently general degree dd hypersurfaces in projective nn-space, the parameter space of rr-dimensional ee-uple Veronese varieties contained in the hypersurface is nonempty of pure dimension equal to the "expected dimension" fe(n,r,d)f_e(n,r,d) in a degree range nN~e(r,d)n\geq \widetilde{N}_e(r,d) that is asymptotically sharp. Moreover, we show that for n1+N1(r,d)n\geq 1+N_1(r,d), the Fano scheme parameterizing rr-dimensional linear spaces is irreducible.
