Abstract

Let be a field of characteristic 2. We give a geometric proof that there are no smooth quartic surfaces S ⊂ ℙ3 k 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.
