Abstract

We establish the dimension and irreducibility of the moduli space of rational curves (of fixed degree) on arbitrary smooth hypersurfaces of sufficiently low degree. A spreading out argument reduces the problem to hypersurfaces defined over finite fields of large cardinality, which can then be tackled using a function field version of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method, in which particular care is taken to ensure uniformity in the size of the underlying finite field.
