Abstract We study deformations of rational curves and their singularities in positive characteristic. We use this to prove that if a smooth and proper surface in positive characteristic p is dominated by a family of rational curves such that one member has all δ-invariants (resp. Jacobian numbers) strictly less than 1 2 ( p - 1 ) {\frac{1}{2}(p-1)} (resp. p), then the surface has negative Kodaira dimension. We also prove similar, but weaker results hold for higher-dimensional varieties. Moreover, we show by example that our result is in some sense optimal. On our way, we obtain a sufficient criterion in terms of Jacobian numbers for the normalization of a curve over an imperfect field to be smooth.
