Lines highly tangent to a hypersurface

arXiv:2208.04393

Abstract

We study spaces of lines that meet a smooth hypersurface X in P^n to high order. As an application, we give a polynomial upper bound on the number of planes contained in a smooth degree d hypersurface in P^5 and provide a proof of a result of Landsberg without using moving frames.

Comments welcome!
