At most 64 lines on smooth quartic surfaces (characteristic 2)
Abstract
Let K be a field of characteristic 2. We give a geometric proof that there are no smooth quartic surfaces in IP3 with more than 64 lines (predating work of Degtyarev which improves this bound to 60). We also exhibit a smooth quartic containing 60 lines which thus attains the record in characteristic 2.
