Morphism spaces on low degree hypersurfaces

Source abstract

For $r> 2$, we study the moduli space parameterising fixed degree morphisms $\mathbb P^r\to X$ where $X$ is a smooth hypersurface of low degree. More precisely, we prove the following result: let $n\geq 2, e\geq 1$ and $X\subset \mathbb P^{n-1}$ a smooth degree $d\geq 2$ hypersurface over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero or greater than $d$, then $\mathrm{Mor}_e(\mathbb P^r, X)$ is irreducible of the expected dimension if $$n> 2^d(d-1)\binom{de+r-1}{r-1}.$$ Our result extends the result of Browning-Yamagishi for $r=2$ via multiblock Weyl differencing.
