Plane containment conjecture for low-degree curves on general hypersurfaces

About 1 year old · traced to

Let X⊂Pn+1X \subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1} be a general hypersurface of degree dd and dimension n≥3n \geq 3, and let C⊂XC \subset X be a curve of degree δ\delta. Assume that

32n+2≤d≤2n−1.\frac{3}{2}n+2 \leq d \leq 2n-1.

Low-degree curve plane-containment conjecture. Every curve CC of degree δ≤d\delta \leq d must be contained in a 22-plane. This extends the stated minimality theorem for plane curves to the indicated range of hypersurface degrees. The status of the conjecture is not resolved in the supplied source context.
