Arnold's hypothesis on hyperbolic hypersurfaces
Arnold's hypothesis on hyperbolic hypersurfaces
A smooth hypersurface in is -hyperbolic if its second quadratic form has signature . Let be a domain bounded by a connected smooth -hyperbolic hypersurface . Arnold's hypothesis. There exist a projective subspace of dimension not intersecting and a projective subspace of dimension contained in . Any projective line joining a point of and a point of intersects at exactly two points. The claim generalizes the corresponding property of quadrics and concerns the existence of complementary projective subspaces controlled by the signature of the second quadratic form. Its resolution status is not specified in the source.
