Here we prove a numerical bound implying that, except for smooth plane conics in characteristic 2, no complete linear system maps birationally a smooth curve into a projective space with a strange curve as image.

Some examples of Gorenstein liaison in codimension three.

Robin Hartshorne (2002)

Collectanea Mathematica

Similarity:

Gorenstein liaison seems to be the natural notion to generalize to higher codimension the well-known results about liaison of varieties of codimension 2 in projective space. In this paper we study points in P3 and curves in P4 in an attempt to see how far typical codimension 2 results will extend. While the results are satisfactory for small degree, we find in each case examples where we cannot decide the outcome. This examples are candidates for counterexamples to the hoped-for extensions...
