A smooth curve $X$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$ is strange if there is a point $p$ which lies on all the tangent lines of $X$. Examples are $\mathbb{P}^1$ is strange and so is $y=x^2$ in characteristic $2$. ...

Let $X$ be a smooth projective rational surface over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and $D$ a divisor on $X$ such that $D$ is nef and $D^2 = 0$ with the following properties: $...
