Families of Rationally Connected Varieties
1.1. Statement of results. We will work throughout over the complex numbers, so that the results here apply over any algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Recall that a proper variety X is said to be rationally connected if two general points p, q ∈ X are contained in the image of a map g : P → X . This is clearly a birationally invariant property. When X is smooth, this turns out to ...
متن کامل2 Rationally Connected Varieties over Finite Fields
In this paper we study rationally connected varieties defined over finite fields. Then we lift these results to rationally connected varieties over local fields. Roughly speaking, a variety X over an algebraically closed field is rationally connected if it contains a rational curve through any number of assigned points P1, . . . , Pn. See [Kollár01a] for an introduction to their theory and for ...

متن کاملFoliations and Rational Connectedness in Positive Characteristic
In this paper, the technique of foliations in characteristic p is used to investigate the difference between rational connectedness and separable rational connectedness in positive characteristic. The notion of being freely rationally connected is defined; a variety is freely rationally connected if a general pair of points can be connected by a free rational curve. It is proved that a freely r...
متن کاملRationally Connected Varieties over Local Fields
LetX be a proper variety defined over a fieldK. Following [Manin72], two points x, x ∈ X(K) are called R-equivalent if they can be connected by a chain of rational curves defined over K, cf. (4.1). In essence, two points are R-equivalent if they are “obviously” rationally equivalent. Several authors have proved finiteness results over local and global fields (cubic hypersurfaces [Manin72, Swinn...
