We show that the same result does not hold in positive characteristic and we find different bounds $d > f(s)$ which ensure that $C$ is contained in a surface of degree $s$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-09-21T08:19:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14H50" ], "keywords": [ "positive characteristic", "laudals lemma states", "plane section", "irreducible curve", "algebraically closed field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1009.4017B" } } }
