Laudal's Lemma in positive characteristic

Algebraic Geometry 2010-09-22 v1

Abstract

Laudal's Lemma states that if CC is a curve of degree d>s2+1d > s^2 + 1 in P3\mathbb P^3 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 such that its plane section is contained in an irreducible curve of degree s, then CC lies on a surface of degree ss. We show that the same result does not hold in positive characteristic and we find different bounds d>f(s)d > f(s) which ensure that CC is contained in a surface of degree ss.
