On algebraic space filling curves

Algebraic Geometry 2023-10-17 v1

Abstract

Poonen and Gabber independently showed that any smooth geometrically irreducible projective scheme over a finite field has a smooth space filling curve, that is, a smooth curve defined over the field and passes through all points over the field. However, except the case of projective plane, no concrete example was found in literature. In this note, we construct explicit examples of algebraic space filling curves in three dimensional projective space, in particular the ones with minimum degree.
