Abstract
AbstractWe study rational surfaces on very general Fano hypersurfaces in$\mathbb {P}^n$, with an eye toward unirationality. We prove that given any fixed family of rational surfaces, a very general hypersurface of degreedsufficiently close tonandnsufficiently large will admit no maps from surfaces in that family. In particular, this shows that for such hypersurfaces, any rational curve in the space of rational curves must meet the boundary. We also prove that for any fixed ratio$\alpha $, a very general hypersurface in$\mathbb {P}^n$of degreedsufficiently close tonwill admit no generically finite maps from a surface satisfying$H^2 \geq \alpha HK$, whereHis the pullback of the hyperplane class from$\mathbb {P}^n$andKis the canonical bundle on the surface.
