Algebraic Hyperbolicity of Complements of Generic Hypersurfaces in Projective Spaces

Abstract: We study the algebraic hyperbolicity of the complement of very general degree $2n$ hypersurfaces in P^n. We prove the Algebraic Green-Griffiths-Lang Conjecture for these complements, and in the case of the complement of a quartic plane curve, we completely characterize the exceptional locus as the union of the flex and bitangent lines.
