Free curves on varieties
Documenta mathematica, Tome 21 (2016), pp. 287-308
We study various generalisations of rationally connected varieties, allowing the connecting curves to be of higher genus. The main focus will be on free curves f:C→X with large unobstructed deformation space as originally defined by Kollár, but we also give definitions and basic properties of varieties X covered by a family of curves of a fixed genus g so that through any two general points of X there passes the image of a curve in the family. We prove that the existence of a free curve of genus g≥1 implies the variety is rationally connected in characteristic zero and initiate a study of the problem in positive characteristic.
