The birational parametrization conjecture for highly movable rational curves

About 25 years old · traced to

Let WW be an arbitrary projective variety of dimension nn. Assume that WW contains a rational curve and that every rational curve of WW moves in a family of dimension at least 2n−22n-2. Birational parametrization conjecture. There is a birational dominating morphism

Pn⟶W{\Bbb P}^n \longrightarrow W

that is either an isomorphism or a normalization. The smooth case is supplied by Miyaoka's theorem, while the extension to arbitrary projective varieties is stated as an expectation and remains open.
