It is shown constructively that all monomial space curves in affine 3-space are set-theoretic complete intersections. It was shown by J. Herzog (private communication) that all space curves in affine 3-space A3 over an arbitrary field K, given parametrically by xl = t', x2 = tf, X3 = t0, a, 8, -y positive integers, g.c.d.(a, ,B, -y) = 1, are complete set-theoretic intersections. The following independent proof provides an algorithm to determine the surfaces involved explicitly and uses only "high-school algebra methods." It is clear that we only have to consider space curves of the indicated type, which are not ideal-theoretic complete intersections. -By [1], the prime ideal P C K[x1, X2, X3], defining such a curve C is given by p = (fi = X1 2 3 2 2 1 3 3 3 1 2 where all exponents are integral, greater than 0 and satisfy the relations a1 = a21 + a31, a2 = a12 + a32, a3 = a13 + a23. We claim: D = (f1,f2,f3) n (X12, X2'2) = (f3,f2, x 22f3, X2f3) = (fl,f2). PROOF. 1st equality: 2 is clear. Iff I = ggj E D, then g3f3 E (X a2l, xa 12). By [2], (X'21, Xa12) is irreducible, hence primary. Since f3 4 (xl, X2) = (2 , X~2) ,al) g3 E (XC121, XC112), from which C . 2nd equality: 2 is trivial. An easy calculation shows x2f = -x a37f1 Xa I2f2 X212f3 = X13f2 X3a23f1, from which C . Therefore C and the line 1 with equations xl = 0, x2 = 0 are the zeroes of (fi, f2). Since C n / = {(O, 0, 0)), it suffices to construct a polynomial g E P such thatft e (g fi), g = X3 + h, h E (x1, x2). To accomplish this we take (x2 -xl21X223)a X22k ? x 3x23, subtract or add x I(a22 O)X 1a23f, and divide by X"a12. This gives x 2a -C2k ? X1(a2 -l)XC'13+a1a23 E P. If a21 = 1 we are done; if not we show that the process, after proper modification, can be carried through a2l-times. To this end, consider the term Xi2a2X(a1 -i)a21X(a1 i)G23, 1 ? j a21 1, obtained from the binomial expansion of f2'. Since (a21 j)al < a21a1 -ja2l, this term can be changed by subtracting proper multiples of fi into xJa2+(a2 I)a 2Xa 3-j)a212-(a2, -])ja, l-j)a23+ (a2,-J)a3 Received by the editors Ju-ne 10, 1978.
