Free and very free morphisms into a Fermat hypersurface

Tabes Bridges, Rankeya Datta, Joseph Eddy, Michael Newman and John Yu

Vol. 6 (2013), No. 4, 437–445
Abstract

This paper studies the existence of free and very free curves on the degree 5 Fermat hypersurface in 5 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We explicitly compute a free curve in degree 8, and a very free curve in degree 9. We also prove that free and very free curves cannot exist in lower degrees.

Keywords
