Applications of a grassmannian technique in hypersurfaces

Abstract

In this paper we further develop a Grassmannian technique used to prove results about very general hypersurfaces and present three applications. First, we provide a short proof of the Kobayashi Conjecture given previous results on the Green-Griffiths-Lang Conjecture. Second, we characterize the dimension of the space of Chow-equivalent points on a very general hypersurface, proving the remaining cases of a conjecture of Chen, Lewis and Sheng and providing a short, alternate proof for many of the already known cases. Finally, we relate Seshadri constants of very general points to Seshadri constants of arbitrary points of very general hypersurfaces.
