The conjecture that very general degree-n hypersurfaces are not covered by rational surfaces
The conjecture that very general degree-n hypersurfaces are not covered by rational surfaces
Let be a very general hypersurface of degree in , with . A hypersurface is covered by rational surfaces if a family of rational surfaces in has union equal to . Non-coverage conjecture. The hypersurface is not covered by rational surfaces. This conjecture concerns the existence of rational surfaces in Fano hypersurfaces. The source states it as an open question for degree hypersurfaces with .
