Abstract

A \(q\)-bic hypersurface is a hypersurface in projective space of degree \(q+1\), where \(q\) is a power of the positive ground field characteristic, whose equation consists of monomials which are products of a \(q\)-power and a linear power; the Fermat hypersurface is an example. I identify \(q\)-bics as moduli spaces of isotropic vectors for an intrinsically defined bilinear form, and use this to study their Fano schemes of linear spaces. Amongst other things, I prove that the scheme of \(m\)-planes in a smooth \((2m+1)\)-dimensional \(q\)-bic hypersurface is an \((m+1)\)-dimensional smooth projective variety of general type which admits a purely inseparable covering by a complete intersection; I compute its Betti numbers by relating it to Deligne--Lusztig varieties for the finite unitary group; and I prove that its Albanese variety is purely inseparably isogenous via an Abel--Jacobi map to a certain conjectural intermediate Jacobian of the hypersurface. The case \(m = 1\) may be viewed as an analogue of results of Clemens and Griffiths regarding cubic threefolds.
