Rational curves on cubic hypersurfaces in positive characteristic

Abstract

We study the moduli spaces of rational curves on cubic hypersurfaces in characteristic ≠2,3. As a result, we prove that for every integer d≥1 the Kontsevich moduli space of stable maps on a smooth cubic hypersurface X of degree d is irreducible if the dimension of X is greater than or equal to 4.
