FANO HYPERSURFACES WITH ARBITRARILY LARGE DEGREES OF IRRATIONALITY

We show that complex Fano hypersurfaces can have arbitrarily large degrees of irrationality. More precisely, if we fix a Fano index $e$, then the degree of irrationality of a very general complex Fano hypersurface of index $e$ and dimension n is bounded from below by a constant times $\sqrt{n}$. To...
