Abstract

Given Pk4\mathbb P^4_k, with kk algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0p>0, and XPk4X\subset \mathbb P^4_k integral surface of degree dd, let Y=XHY=X\cap H be the general hyperplane section of XX. We suppose that h0IY(s)0h^0\mathscr I_Y(s)\ne 0 and h0IX(s)=0h^0\mathscr I_X(s)=0 for some s>0s>0. This determines a nonzero element αH1IX(s)\alpha\in H^1\mathscr I_X(s) such that αH=0\alpha\cdot H=0 in H1IX(s)H^1\mathscr I_X(s). We find different upper bounds of dd in terms of ss, pp and the order of α\alpha and we show that these bounds are sharp. In particular, we see that ds2d\le s^2 for p<sp<s and ds2s+2d\le s^2-s+2 for psp\ge s.
