Prime Fano threefolds of genus 8 in positive characteristic
Abstract
We prove that a prime Fano threefold of genus 8 over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic is isomorphic to a linear section of the Grassmannian variety Gr(2, 6). As applications, it is shown that a prime Fano threefold of genus 8 is irrational and, if the characteristic is larger than two, then it is globally F-regular.
