Using the formalism of directed varieties, we prove here that this assertion holds true in case $X$ satisfies a strong general type condition that is related to a certain jet-semistability property of the tangent bundle $T\\_X$. We then use this fact to confirm a long-standing conjecture of Kobayashi (1970), according to which a very general algebraic hypersurface of dimension $n$ and degree at least $2n+2$ in the complex projective space ${\\mathbb P}^{n+1}$ is hyperbolic.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-28T08:47:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "general hypersurfaces", "kobayashi conjecture", "hyperbolicity", "strong general type condition", "non constant entire curves" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150107625D" } } }
