Are rational curves determined by tangent vectors?

Stefan KebekusSándor J. Kovács — 2004

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let X be a projective variety which is covered by rational curves, for instance a Fano manifold over the complex numbers. In this paper, we give sufficient conditions which guarantee that every tangent vector at a general point of X is contained in at most one rational curve of minimal degree. As an immediate application, we obtain irreducibility criteria for the space of minimal rational curves.
