On a conjecture on Hodge loci of linear combinations of linear subvarieties
Abstract For each $$k \ge 5$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>≥</mml:mo> <mml:mn>5</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> we give a counterexample to a conjecture of Movasati on the dimension of certain Hodge loci of cubic hypersurfaces in $$\textbf{P}^{2k+1}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>P</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:math> containing two k -planes intersecting in dimension $$k-3$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . We give similar examples for Hodge loci of cubic hypersurfaces in $$\textbf{P}^{2k+1}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>P</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:math> containing two k -planes intersecting in dimension $$k-2$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> and for quartic hypersurfaces in $$\textbf{P}^{2k+1}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>P</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:math> containing two k -planes intersecting in dimension $$k-2$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . Moreover, we present new evidence for Movasati’s conjecture for the values of k for which our type of counterexamples cannot exist, i.e., for $$k=3,4$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>k</mml:mi> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mn>4</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> .
