Abstract
In this thesis, we study the relation between connectedness and complete intersections. We describe the concept of connectedness in codimension k. We also study the basic facts about Cohen-Macaulay rings, and give some applications about these rings and complete intersections. Finally, we show that certain rational curves of degree ≥ 4 in the projective 3-space are settheoretical complete intersections in all prime characteristics p > 0.
