Abstract
We study the space of rational curves on del Pezzo surfaces in positive characteristic. For most primes p p we prove the irreducibility of the moduli space of rational curves of a given nef class, extending results of Testa in characteristic 0 0 . We also investigate the principles of Geometric Manin’s Conjecture for weak del Pezzo surfaces. In the course of this investigation, we give examples of weak del Pezzo surfaces defined over F 2 ( t ) \mathbb F_2(t) or F 3 ( t ) \mathbb {F}_{3}(t) such that the exceptional sets in Manin’s Conjecture are Zariski dense.
