Conjecture that non-singular hypersurfaces are not unions of maximal sub-boundary planes
Conjecture that non-singular hypersurfaces are not unions of maximal sub-boundary planes
Let , let be a non-singular hypersurface of degree , and set
An -plane means a linear projective subspace of dimension contained in . The non-union-of-planes conjecture. The hypersurface is not a union of -planes.
The question concerns the possible dimension of the Fano scheme of -planes in the sub-boundary case. The source says that resolving it would simplify the proof of a stated theorem. It also records that the conjecture was proved when by Roya Beheshti, so only the remaining cases are open on the supplied evidence.
