Space curves not contained in low degree surfaces in positive characteristic


Abstract


Let C \subset \mathbf{P}^3 be an integral projective curve not contained in a quadric surface. Set d:=deg(C),g:=p_a(C), 

\pi_1(d,3):= \left\{ d^2/6 - d/2 + 1 if d/3 \in \mathbf{Z} 
                              d^2/6 - d/2 + 1/3 if d/3 \notin \mathbf{Z} \right.

Here we prove in arbitrary characteristic that g \le \pi_1(d,3) if d \ge 25.
