For each \(k \ge 5\) we give a counterexample to a conjecture of Movasati on the dimension of certain Hodge loci of cubic hypersurfaces in \(\textbf{P}^{2k+1}\) containing two k-planes intersecting in dimension \(k-3\) . We give similar examples for Hodge loci of cubic hypersurfaces in \(\textbf{P}^{2k+1}\) containing two k-planes intersecting in dimension \(k-2\) and for quartic hypersurfaces in \(\textbf{P}^{2k+1}\) containing two k-planes intersecting in dimension \(k-2\) . Moreover, we present new evidence for Movasati’s conjecture for the values of k for which our type of counterexamples cannot exist, i.e., for \(k=3,4\) .
