Varieties of minimal rational tangents of codimension 1

Jun-Muk Hwang (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let  X be a uniruled projective manifold and let  x be a general point. The main result of [2] says that if the ( - K X ) -degrees (i.e., the degrees with respect to the anti-canonical bundle of  X ) of all rational curves through x are at least dim X + 1 , then X is a projective space. In this paper, we study the structure of  X when the ( - K X ) -degrees of all rational curves through x are at least dim X . Our study uses the projective variety 𝒞 x T x ( X ) , called the VMRT at  x , defined as the union of tangent directions to the rational curves...
