Abstract:
It is known that the general hyperplane sections of a weakly normal projective algebraic variety are weakly normal if the ground field has characteristic zero. This is shown to be false in positive characteristic; counterexamples can be obtained by intersecting "bad" weakly normal varieties with suitable linear spaces.References
