Rational curves on a smooth Hermitian surface
Abstract
We study the set $R$ of nonplanar rational curves of degree $d 0$, where $q$ is a power of $p$. We prove that $R$ is the empty set when $d<q+1$. In the case where $d=q+1$, we count the number of elements of $R$ by showing that the group of projective automorphisms of $X$ acts transitively on $R$ and by determining the stabilizer subgroup. In the special case where $X$ is the Fermat surface, we present an element of $R$ explicitly.
