Higher-dimensional tangency bound for hypersurfaces
Higher-dimensional tangency bound for hypersurfaces
Let be a field and let be a set of irreducible hypersurfaces in . A directed point of tangency is a pair , where and is a hyperplane containing , such that at least two distinct hypersurfaces in are smooth at and tangent to at . Let be the set of directed points of tangency, and let be the number of hypersurfaces in smooth at and tangent to at . Let be a set of irreducible hypersurfaces in of degree at most , with . Higher-dimensional tangency conjecture.
This is proposed as a higher-dimensional analogue of the paper's tangency theorem, motivated by the corresponding geometry of -dimensional varieties in . The source gives no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
