Abstract

This talk is on the geometry of spaces of rational curves on Fano hypersurfaces. I will talk about some of the known results on the Kodaira dimension of these spaces. I will also discuss the relation between the birational geometry of spaces of rational curves on a hypersurface and the geometry of the hypersurface itself.
