Plane sections of space curves in positive characteristic

  • Paola Bonacini

Abstract

It is known that if C is a curve of degree d ≥ 6 in P^3 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 such that its plane section is contained in an irreducible conic, then C lies on a quadric surface. We show under which conditions this result holds also in positive characteristic.
